This is essential to accommodate the fluctuating output of renewable sources while ensuring the security of the energy supply. In the present scenario, the integration of thermal energy storage systems (TES) with nuclear reactors holds the potential to enhance the uninterrupted and efficient functioning of nuclear power plants.
Nuclear systems suit low-carbon heat and power in future net-zero setups. Nuclear with combined heat and power offer solutions for local industrial needs. Thermal energy storage improves system flexibility and efficiency for process heat. Thermal storage between the primary loop and steam cycle is the most efficient.
2. The safety of energy storage systems is designed to operate independently from nuclear reactors. This separation ensures that in the event of a failure in either system, the safety and operation of the other system is not compromised.
Since heat is a natural product of nuclear reactions, storing the energy produced as thermal energy seems to be an efficient means of storage. Also, storing heat is a technologically simple task so it should be a relatively cheap and reliable energy storage adaptation for nuclear power.
A viable approach involves combining thermal energy storage with nuclear power plants. Because of this, the reactor's output could be kept at a practically constant level while the electrical generator's output can be varied in response to the changing demands of the net load . 2.3. Types of TES systems
Energy storage systems (ESS) that are integrated with nuclear power plants (NPP) serve multiple purposes. They not only store excess energy generated during off-peak periods but also effectively manage fluctuating energy demand and mitigate safety concerns. Integrated ESS nuclear power plant yields a higher capacity factor.
