Energy storage technologies can enable nuclear power plants to follow electricity demand throughout the day and minimize cycling costs. Several dynamic performance requirements and heuristics (such as cost and environmental impact) are presented in this chapter to compare energy storage technologies that could be
Moreover, the integration of nuclear power plant with a cryogenic-based energy storage technology and secondary power generation unit was assessed by Li et al. [17]. The studied configuration showed the ability of generating a total net output power of 690 MW el during peak times, which is 2.7 times the baseload power output of 250 MW el .
Existing nuclear power plants benefit from high efficiency by operating at full capacity for generating electricity. However, the demand for electricity is an hourly variable and thus excess electricity is available at off-peak times on a given day. The price of this off-peak electricity is very low compared to the average price. Storing or utilizing this
Given the growing global demands on energy and fresh water, nuclear energy has become a promising source of power and freshwater production. Maximizing the nuclear power plant efficiency requires running the plant at maximum power capacity, however, the actual load might not require such huge power supply (1000 MWe +). Power plants operation
As a result, round-trip efficiency of storage system of the hybrid plant can be expressed by the following fraction: (3) η storage = P Inc P DC = P HPP-P NPP P DC = 77, 970-45, 005 55, 870 = 0.59 where: P Inc is the additional (incremental) electric powerP DC
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 generate new revenue for the nuclear plant and help decarbonize the electricity grid.
While economics [20] and public opinion [21], [22] are affecting future installations of nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is one means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions [22]. The Westinghouse AP1000 reactor and power cycle provides a convenient starting point for evaluation of TES in a baseload nuclear plant;

Within the conventional two-tank molten salt energy storage system, a configuration involving two distinct tanks - a hot tank and a cold tank - is established. The molten salt mixture, composed of 60% sodium nitrate (NaNO 3) and 40% potassium nitrate (KNO 3), undergoes heating via a solar tower receiver positioned at the central solar tower.
Hybrid power plants are usually created for better utilization of different energy sources in a single plant. Similar hybrid concept is developed farther in this study. As the title suggests, the hybridization concept elaborated here aims to combine small nuclear plant with solar photovoltaics, along with thermal energy storage.
