The Balance of Power System Peak Load Regulation Considering the Participation of Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract:

Nuclear power plants (NPP) have to face urgent requirement of participating in peak load regulation of power grid. The peak load regulation performances of NPP were researched. Based on the calculation and analysis on peak load regulation cost and benefit of NPP, the location, criterion and peak balance algorithm of NPP participating in peak regulation were proposed. Results of the actual research show that NPP possesses better ability of peak load regulation and the cost is lower, so NPP can participate in daily peak load regulation, which will improve both security and flexibility of power grid and enhance the efficiency of resource configuration. However, the depth and speed of peak load regulation by NPP are restricted by security and economy.
