“…In the study [20], the best place to build a NPP was estimated using the MC-RS probabilistic survey method and the best place for the construction of Bus NO.3 NPP was estimated. With the construction of a nuclear power plant in this bus, the possibility of Failure to supply house load to the NPP is reduced.…”

“…One of the important issues that has been mentioned before and should be considered is the introduction of a suitable location for the NPP in the electricity network connected to it. In his research, F. Kiomarsi et al have introduced a suitable construction site for the NPP after the trip of the power plant and in situations where the power plant is not able to return to normal operating conditions and needs to receive power from the national grid to cool the reactor [20].…”

This study presents a combination of optimal placement and power system development with the aim of supplying electricity for Nuclear Power Plant after the trip of power plant. Power supply to the internal loads of power plant by the off-site power system is one of the main fields of research in achieving the safety Nuclear Power Plant. One of the main purposes in this article is to introduce a suitable and safe place for the construction and connection of a Nuclear Power Plant to the power system. These locations are identified by the power plants on-site loads and the average of the lowest number of relay protection after the Nuclear Power Plant trip, based on electricity considerations. Along with the optimal placement in this paper, the power system development, including the generation and transmission development in order to provide electricity with higher reliability to the Nuclear Power Plant after the trip is also presented. Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube Sampling probabilistic methods are proposed for locating the site of a Nuclear Power Plant and algorithms of Genetic and Particle Swarm Optimization for locating and developing power generation and transmission systems. The simulation results are implemented on the IEEE RTS 24-bus system, and finally suitable locations for the construction of the Nuclear Power Plant and the generation and transmission development with the aim of feeding the power plant from the off-site power system and sufficient assurance that the reactor core does not melt after the trip, are determined.

“…Additionally, the integration of energy storage systems with NRSs could potentially ensure the availability of electrical power supply for its safety systems during safe shutdown or upon undesired events. Adequate power supply would fulfil the need for removing the decay heat, which is one of the main issues of nuclear reactor safety in the case of reactor shutdown [7]. According to [8], nuclear power plants can also be optimally located to ensure its internal loads can be powered from an off-site power system to ensure the continuity of power supply to the reactor power plant.…”

Traditionally, nuclear power plants in the U.S. provide baseload power to the power grid because they have less flexibility for ramping their output power than natural gas peaking plants. However, achieving climate goals to reduce the consumption of fossil‐based natural gas places pressure on nuclear power plants and other power generators to ramp up their power output to balance grid generation with demand. This paper presents the modelling and performance analysis of a nuclear reactor system (NRS) coupled to a liquid‐metal battery (LMB) to improve its dynamic response and enable its black start capability. The NRS and LMB thermal behaviour are modelled in Dymola, while the electrical dynamics of the LMB and power grid are modelled in RTDS‐RSCAD. Both simulation platforms are coupled and share their thermal and electrical data using a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication protocol. The dynamic performance of the NRS‐LMB integration is tested on the IEEE 9 bus, which demonstrates its ability to respond and provide frequency and voltage regulation. The black start capability of the NRS‐LMB is also evaluated by simulating a grid outage and using the LMB to supply the auxiliary loads required to bring the NRS back online as soon as possible. The results show that coupling an NRS to an LMB improves the system dynamic performance and enables it to black start after being disconnected from the grid for several days.
