Research on Combined Peak Load Regulation with Hydropower, Thermal Power and Nuclear Power Plants

Abstract:

Base on Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) participating in peak load regulation of power grid, this paper studies the operation mode of hydropower, thermal power and NPP in Combined Peak Load Regulation. The optimization model for Peaking depth of NPP was set up. The case based on actual power grid were calculated and analyzed, results of the research show that in combined peak load regulation of hydropower, thermal power and NPP, a reasonable peaking depth of NPP will effectively alleviate the peaking pressure of power grid, avoid start-stop of thermal power and abandoned water of hydropower, while ensuring the hydroelectric generating capacity in the low load periods, and ensure thermal power output smooth, it further reduce the operating costs, verify the effectiveness of the model.
