An Analysis of Physics Limited Dispatch of Nuclear Renewable Integrated Energy Systems using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Dynamic Modelling
Previous approaches to dispatching nuclear integrated energy systems (NIES) have focused on the profitability and flexibility of these systems to operate on energy grids with highly variable pricing. Because of the complexity of these systems to model and design, less focus has been given to ensuring these dispatch strategies are physically achievable. It is imperative […]
Research Highlight – Dispatch Optimization, System Design and Cost Benefit Analysis of a Nuclear Reactor with Molten Salt Thermal Storage
We highlight our work from our previous publication titled “Dispatch Optimization, System Design, and Cost Benefit Analysis of a Nuclear Reactor with Molten Salt Thermal Storage” published in MDPI Energies 2022 (doi.org/10.3390/en15103599). Variable renewable energy availability has increased the volatility in energy prices in most markets. Nuclear power plants, with a large ratio of capital […]
