Analysis of a Hybrid Nuclear Renewable Energy Resource in a Distributed Energy System for a Rural Area in Nigeria

Climate change is one of the global issues being combatted in recent times. One measures a worldwide cutdown on carbon emissions. This has brought about rapid development technologies that can best actualise this goal. The decentralised energy system designed to harness strengths small power-generating sources such as renewable noncentralised manner help meet need for clean energy. Renewable are faced with challenge intermittency, which brings instability grid. Another source nuclear energy, traditionally large and not flexible; however, technology resulted scaled-down version plants more flexible yet provide stable electricity. paper explores possibility deploying microreactors describes features challenges system. modular reactor make it viable candidate generating explored. A case study DES microreactor was conducted rural area Nigeria. HOMER software used simulating optimum system, while TOPSIS ranking systems. result showed PV/nuclear/battery ranked first, followed by PV/nuclear/wind battery
