6 FAQs about [Nuclear power coupling and energy storage]

Can thermal energy storage be coupled to nuclear power sources?

Can two-tank molten salts thermal energy storage be used for solar power plants?

Two-tank molten salt storage for parabolic trough solar power plants Energy, 29 ( 5–6) ( 2004), pp. 883 - 893, 10.1016/S0360-5442 (03)00193-2 Two-tank molten salts thermal energy storage system for solar power plants at pilot plant scale: Lessons learnt and recommendations for its design, start-up and operation

Can nuclear power be used as a heat source?

Integration with nuclear is limited to stored cold water employed by buildings for cooling applications using an electric chiller, or hot water that serves as a heat source by being drawn out of a low-pressure turbine. This low level of compatibility with high-quality steam leads to an FOM of 0 for the capability to discharge high quality heat.

Can a nuclear-generated heat exchanger discharge high-quality heat?

Any interface with steam produced by nuclear-generated heat would require new heat exchange methods. Thus far, experience does not indicate the possibility of high storage temperatures/pressures, so an FOM of 0 was assigned for compatibility to discharge high-quality heat.
