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

位于温尼伯的ETRAN套件开发商Electranix是一家电力系统研究和咨询公司，致力于提供高质量的专业工程研究和服务。它有兴趣与Rama 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）在离网和弱连接的远程负载中心的兼容性。虽然PSS/E和其他电力系统模拟器提供了传统核电站的模型，但smr和基于快速变流器的RES发电的不断变化的设计限制必须由适当适应的模型来表示。根据拟议的项目，将为smr的不断发展的设计限制和基于快速变流器的RES发电开发新的模型。然后，所述模型将用于开发分析工具，用于不同发电技术的兼容性评估，包括电能存储的需求和潜在作用，以提高具有smr的远程负载中心的RES托管能力。对萨斯喀彻温省一个实际馈线的案例研究的模型、方法和结果将有助于评估在偏远社区开发碳中性可持续能源系统的潜力，该系统将结合smr、可再生能源和储能。

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.
