The next generation of nuclear power?
نویسنده
چکیده
EPM’s Systems and Safety Analysis Division has worked tirelessly for decades to aid the continued safety and reliability of the American and International nuclear fleet. As the group continues to support the aging of these plants from the original Nuclear Renaissance, other projects have begun to support the certification of new reactor designs. Two projects currently undertaken by the EPM SSA group involve supporting the certification of NuScale’s widely publicized Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design and the Korea Electrical Power Corporation (KEPCO) APR1400 design. Though these two designs involve very different technologies, EPM is able to apply our extensive experience interacting with the regulatory bodies of the nuclear industry, and engineering expertise to both.

Analysis of Reliability Indices in Next Generation Microgrids Under Uncertainties of Load and Renewable Power Production
In this paper, Multi-Microgrids (MMG) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (SSER) are main power generation units with small scales. Optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. The defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...
متن کاملReactive Power Pricing Simultaneous Using Spot and Bilateral Market Models Considering Opportunity Cost
Reactive power as a utility of ancillary service in restructured environment is supplied by Independent System Operator (ISO). Due to the particular importance of optimal pricing strategy in the power market, the study aims to investigate this problem more closely. To this end, first the problems of restructuring, reactive power generation and its associated costs thereof were reviewed and diff...
متن کاملGeneration of High Order Harmonics from H2+ Molecule Ion by Using Homogenous and Inhomogeneous Laser Fields
We solved one dimensional Schrodinger equation in a H2+ molecular environment by using 3 femtosecond homogeneous and nonhomogeneous laser fields. In homogeneous case, we found out that larger inter nuclear distances result in earlier ionization and also more instability in the wave packet. We deducted that the more the instability is, the more modulated the power spectrum will be. So, by choosi...
متن کاملA new approach to wind turbine power generation forecasting, using weather radar data based on Hidden Markov Model
The wind is one of the most important and affecting phenomena and is known as one of the significant clean resources of energy. Apart from other atmospheric parameters, the wind has complex behavior and intermittent characteristics. Local phenomena can be accompanied by the wind, which is strong, non-predicted, and damaging. Weather radars are capable of detecting and displaying storm-related ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Multi-Region, Multi-Source, Multi-Period Generation Expansion Planning in Renewable Energy for Country-Wide Generation-Transmission Planning
Environmental pollution and rapid depletion are among the chief concerns about fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Renewable energy sources do not suffer from such limitations and are considered the best choice to replace fossil fuels. The present study develops a mathematical model for optimal allocation of regional renewable energy to meet a country-wide demand and its other essential as...
متن کاملAn adaptive modified firefly algorithm to unit commitment problem for large-scale power systems
Unit commitment (UC) problem tries to schedule output power of generation units to meet the system demand for the next several hours at minimum cost. UC adds a time dimension to the economic dispatch problem with the additional choice of turning generators to be on or off. In this paper, in order to improve both the exploitation and exploration abilities of the firefly algorithm (FA), a new mo...
