Abstract:The increasing installment of solar and wind renewable energy systems
create a volatile energy demand to be met by electricity providers. A
nuclear hybrid energy system is a nuclear reactor with energy storage
that integrates into the grid with renewable energy sources. The Natrium
design by TerraPower and GE Hitachi is a sodium fast reactor with molten
salt energy storage. The Natrium design operates at steady state of 345
MW and can boost up to 500 MW for
5.5 hours. This study uses Dymola and the Modelica … Show more
