RISNuclear Power Coupled With Thermal Energy Storage: Impact of Technical Performance on Economics in an Exemplary Electricity Grid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) coupled with nuclear energy could be a transformative contribution to address the mismatch in energy production and demand that occur with the expanding use of solar and wind energy. TES can ...
On the Use of Thermal Energy Storage for Flexible Baseload Power Plants: Thermodynamic Analysis of Options for a Nuclear Rankine Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intermittency of wind and solar energy can disrupt the dynamic balance utilities must maintain to meet fluctuating demand. This work examines the use of thermal energy storage (TES) to increase the operational flexibility ...
