Research on Peaking System of Nuclear Power Plant Based on Energy Storage Scheme of Hydrogen Production and Ammonia Synthesis

Abstract With the continuous advancement of the “dual carbon” strategic goal, the power industry, as the main force of energy consumption, actively carries out technological innovation and improves the utilization ratio of clean energy, so the demand for nuclear power peak shaving gradually increases. Based on the current situation of electric power energy utilization and hot research on the green development path of hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis, this paper puts forward a peaking solution of a new energy storage system for nuclear power plants based on green electricity conversion. Taking the daily load tracking mode of AP1000 nuclear power unit as an example, considering the operation efficiency under different loads, the power regulation process of the system is quantitatively calculated by using APROS simulation software. We add a waste heat recovery and utilization structure to improve the energy utilization efficiency, and the economy of this system is evaluated to be more persuasive. It provides an idea of transforming surplus electricity into zero-carbon energy storage for peak shaving problem of nuclear power plants, and has certain reference significance for the development of nuclear comprehensive utilization.
