Is nuclear energy the future of industrial energy parks?
While the future of industrial energy parks aligns with a variety of low- or zero-carbon technologies, our analysis emphasizes the potential contribution of nuclear energy coupled with TES as an enabling technology for a dispatchable, flexible, and reliable integrated energy system (IES).
What are the critical aspects of industrial energy parks?
Typically, existing industrial energy parks undergo analyses in six different areas: economics, regulations, technical aspects, management, civil and architectural considerations, and sustainability . This study focuses on addressing one of these critical areas in particular: technical aspects.
What is a nuclear energy system?
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.
Can particle storage technology be integrated with nuclear power systems?
Although developed for solar or electric heating with radiative heat exchangers, particle storage technology can be integrated with nuclear power systems using moving- and fluidized-bed heat exchangers [, , ]. This concept could, after sufficient design work, be suitable for primary heat due to its HT limits.
Are nuclear plants a good choice for energy security & independence?
Nuclear systems are promising candidates for delivering resilient heat and power for future energy security and independence. Traditionally, nuclear plants have been used for baseload electricity production and cogeneration of heat has seen relatively limited application utilizing typically only small portion of a reactor's thermal output.
Could a nuclear-based CHP reshape industrial energy consumption patterns?
The shift to a nuclear-based CHP could thus significantly reshape industrial energy consumption patterns, leading to carbon emission reductions.
