The benefits of nuclear flexibility in power system operations with renewable energy

Journal Article Jenkins, J. D. ; Zhou, Z. ; Ponciroli, R. ; ... - Applied Energy

Nuclear power plants are commonly operated in a “baseload” mode at maximum rated capacity whenever online. However, nuclear power plants are technically capable of flexible operation, including changing power output over time (ramping or load following) and providing frequency regulation and operating reserves. At the same time, flexibility is becoming more valuable as many regions transition to low-carbon power systems with higher shares of variable renewable energy sources. We present a novel mixed-integer linear programming formulation to more accurately represent the technical operating constraints of nuclear power stations, including impacts of xenon transients in the reactor core and changing coremore »« less

Grid-Scale Ternary-Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage for Flexible Operation of Nuclear Power Generation under High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources

Journal Article Hovsapian, Rob ; Osorio, Julian D. ; Panwar, Mayank ; ... - Energies

In this work, the integration of a grid-scale ternary-Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (t-PTES) with a nuclear power generation to enhance operation flexibility is assessed using physics-based models and digital real time simulation. A part of the electricity from the nuclear power generation is delivered to the grid, and the balance is used to power a heat pump that can be augmented by an auxiliary resistive load element to increase the charging rate of the thermal storage. This increases the thermal potential between hot and cold thermal stores (usually solid materials or molten salts inside large storage tanks). The thermal energymore »« less

Flexible operation of batteries in power system scheduling with renewable energy

Journal Article Li, Nan ; Uckun, Canan ; Constantinescu, Emil M. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy

The fast growing expansion of renewable energy increases the complexities in balancing generation and demand in the power system. The energy-shifting and fast-ramping capability of energy storage has led to increasing interests in batteries to facilitate the integration of renewable resources. In this paper, we present a two-step framework to evaluate the potential value of energy storage in power systems with renewable generation. First, we formulate a stochastic unit commitment approach with wind power forecast uncertainty and energy storage. Second, the solution from the stochastic unit commitment is used to derive a flexible schedule for energy storage in economic dispatchmore »« less

Hydro power flexibility for power systems with variable renewable energy sources: an IEA Task 25 collaboration: Hydro power flexibility for power systems

Journal Article Huertas-Hernando, Daniel ; Farahmand, Hossein ; Holttinen, Hannele ; ... - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews. Energy and Environment

Hydro power is one of the most flexible sources of electricity production. Power systems with considerable amounts of flexible hydro power potentially offer easier integration of variable generation, e.g., wind and solar. However, there exist operational constraints to ensure mid-/long-term security of supply while keeping river flows and reservoirs levels within permitted limits. In order to properly assess the effective available hydro power flexibility and its value for storage, a detailed assessment of hydro power is essential. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the weather-dependent hydrological cycle, regulation constraints on the hydro system, and uncertainty of internal load as wellmore »« less

Benefit Analysis of Long-Duration Energy Storage in Power Systems with High Renewable Energy Shares

Journal Article Zhang, Jiazi ; Guerra, Omar J. ; Eichman, Joshua ; ... - Frontiers in Energy Research

The integration of high shares of variable renewable energy raises challenges for the reliability and cost-effectiveness of power systems. The value of long-duration energy storage, which helps address variability in renewable energy supply across days and seasons, is poised to grow significantly as power systems shift to larger shares of variable generation such as wind and solar. This study explores the system-level services and associated benefits of long-duration energy storage on the 2050 Western Interconnection (WI). The operation of the future WI system with 85% renewable penetration is simulated using a two-stage production cost model. The impact of long durationmore »« less
