The Impact of Load Folowing in Providing System Services of the Selected Dukovany Power Plant Unit on the Parameters of the Core
Kaňa, Jiří ; Ing. Jakub Lüley, PhD., ÚJFI FEI STU v Bratislave (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
To operate safely and reliably, the power grid needs power sources that are capable of providing flexibility. In the scenario that emission-free sources dominate the energy mix, the provision of these services will largely be the responsibility of nuclear power plants. Changing the output of a nuclear power plant is burdened with a number of specificities that need to be respected compared to the output changes of thermal power plants. This thesis explores the possibilities of using the reactor at the Dukovany power plant to provide load-following. From a theoretical point of view, it presents information on the needs of the power system, the general possibilities and limitations of using nuclear power plants for load-following and presents the historical context of this practice. After applying different scenarios of load-following, the simulation results are assessed from safety, operational and economic points of view.
