“…Zbog uvida u potencijalnu ekonomsku konkurentnost nuklearne elektrane, na FER-u [20] je izraena analiza graniËne investicije nuklearne elektrane. GraniËna investicija defi nirana je kao najviπa vrijednost ukupne specifi Ëne investicije uz koju -begative reception in the public (irrespectively of the less negative impact of nuclear power plants on the environment), -temporary administrative ban on preparatory work (same as for coal-fi red thermoelectric power plants).…”

“…In order to determine the potential economic competitiveness of a nuclear power plant, FER [20] conducted an analysis of the competitive investment cost for a nuclear power plant. The competitive cost is defi ned as the highest value of the total specifi c investment at which the average (levelized) cost of electricity generated at the power plant prosjeËna (nivelirana) cijena elektriËne energije proizvedene u nuklearnoj elektrani tijekom njezine aeivotne dobi postaje konkurentnom cijeni energije proizvedene u elektrani na ugljen i elektrani na plin s kombiniranim ciklusom.…”

The article analyzes the conditions and limitations in the generation of electricity in Croatia in the next shortterm and medium-term periods (until 2020). The analysis includes the forecasts of the increase in electricity consumption and its relation to the increase in the GDP, the unstable availability and the price of natural gas as the basic source of energy, as well as limitations in the implementation of renewable resources. The article reviews the relative impact of power plants on the environment, particularly with regard to the emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting damage (external costs). An economic comparison of power plants incl. external costs is presented. The potential importance of a nuclear power plant to Croatia in the medium term is noted, as well as the need to diversify resources and to promptly begin with the preparatory works for any potential option in building power plants.

“…These costs are then analyzed and manipulated through cost estimating techniques. The cost that will be used for each account is a "most likely" estimate based on industry experts experience and historical data [9]. However, an amount of uncertainty is associated to both the cost analysis process and the cost estimating techniques, with a resulting uncertainty level associated to each account.…”

The Integral Inherently Safe Light Water Reactor (I2S–LWR) is a design concept of a large (~1000 MWe) light water reactor with integral primary circuit configuration. One of the key design features promoting inherent safety is implementation of an integral primary circuit configuration, which in turn requires a compact design of the core and primary circuit components. Assessments of the cost of I2S-LWR is an important aspect of the overall evaluation of the new reactor concept. There are several approaches to cost estimation and economics evaluation of the new nuclear power technologies. Frequently used guidelines rely on the Code of Accounts, originally developed in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Economics Data Base (EEDB) Program Code of Accounts, proposed as evaluation tool by C.R. Hudson, and further popularized in the guidelines for economic evaluation of bids, by The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The code of accounts allows to break down main costs (Total Capital Investment Cost, Fuel Cycle Cost, Operation and Maintenance) to individual systems and items. This work aims to implement and apply a top-down differential economics evaluation approach to the Code of Accounts based guidelines, to assess the costs of the I2S -LWR relative to a representative “standard” PWR. In this methodology, a representative PWR design was taken as a reference and the differential cost was estimated for each individual account based on the design difference (or similarity). Cost estimating techniques were applied to the accounts representing systems that differ from the ones of the reference PWR. In this manner, the cost of the common components cancels out, and the uncertainty in the estimate is reduced. While this preliminary evaluation yet needs to be completed, the indications so far are that the I2S-LWR LCOE will be economically competitive with a standard PWR.

Abstract:The aim of paper is analyzing the issue related to the management of effective thermal quantity during lignite combustion and emissions of gases that are product of complete and non-complete combustion of lignite in the boilers. The real thermal amount of total burning lignite is 7524 kJ kg -1 . Thus, the losses of thermal quantity at ignition and during combustion of lignite directly depend on the diameter of lignite pieces intended for combustion. Paper contains the analyses of the thermal value, the composition of combustible and non-combustible matters of Kosova's lignite. The research on theoretical and practical field of management of thermal quantity of lignite is based and verified by DIN 1942DIN , 1952DIN , 1956 standards which describe effective thermal quantity. The paper reflects positively on management of the effective thermal quantity.
