Sustainable Energy: Increasing the Hosting Capacity of Renewable Energy Systems with Small Modular Reactors********

电气-温尼伯为基础的开发商的ETRAN包-是一个电力系统的研究和咨询公司，致力于提供高质量的专业工程研究和服务。 它有兴趣与拉马Gokaraju博士（萨斯喀彻温大学）合作开发分析工具，以评估小型模块化反应堆（SMR）和可再生能源系统（RES）在离网和弱连接远程负载中心的兼容性。虽然PSS/E和其他电力系统仿真器中提供了常规核电厂的模型，但SMR和RES快速转换器发电的不断变化的设计限制必须由适当调整的模型表示。根据拟议的项目，将为SMR的不断变化的设计限制和RES的快速转换器发电开发新模型。然后，上述模型将用于开发分析工具，用于评估不同发电技术的兼容性，包括电能存储的需求和潜在作用，以提高远程负载中心的RES托管容量。模型，方法和萨斯喀彻温省实际馈线案例研究的结果将有助于评估开发碳中性可持续能源系统的潜力与SMRs，RES和存储在偏远社区的组合。

Electranix - the Winnipeg based developers of the ETRAN package - is a power systems studies and consulting firm dedicated to providing high-quality specialty engineering studies and services. It is interested in collaborating with Dr. Rama Gokaraju (University of Saskatchewan) for developing analytical tools to assess the compatibility of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Renewable Energy Systems (RES) in off-grid and weakly connected remote load centers. While the models for conventional nuclear power plants are available in PSS/E and other power system simulators, the evolving design limits of SMRs and fast acting converter-based generation from RES must be represented by appropriately adapted models. Under the proposed project, new models will be developed for the evolving design limits of SMRs and the fast acting converter-based generation from RES. The said models will then be used to develop the analytical tools for compatibility assessment of the disparate generation technologies including the need and potential role of electrical energy storage to improve the RES hosting capacity of remote load centers with SMRs. The models, methodology and the findings of a case study on an actual feeder in Saskatchewan will help assess the potential of developing carbon-neutral sustainable energy systems with the combination of SMRs, RES and storage in remote communities.
