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

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
