In this paper, we introduced a new paradigm for energy supply system in near future which produces electric and district heat cogeneration with dispersed power grid with small nuclear power generation units (SNPGU). Recently, in nuclear field, a lot of effort has been done in nuclear major countries to develop small and medium reactor for enhancement of nuclear peaceful use as like in district hea...Show More
Criteria that establish protection requirements for Class 1E power systems and equipment are prescribed in this standard. The purpose of and the means for obtaining protection from electrical and mechanical damage, or failures that can occur within a time period that is shorter than that required for operator action, are described. Testing and surveillance requirements are included. Plant physical...Show More
The risk assessment method for power system standard evaluation in regard to generation and transmission capacities adequacy for the perspective 5 and 10 years period under the information uncertainly conditions is being analysed in the paper. The tool of the method is the programme LDM-T&G'05 (Latvian Dynamic Model for Transmission and Generation). The programme provides the opportunity to perfor...Show More

The German government has recently decided to phase out all of Germany's nuclear power plants by the end of 2022. This will likely have a sizable impact on the power system of the neighbor countries. The present paper investigates the effects of a nuclear power phase-out in Germany on the steady state operation of the Austrian power system. For the study, a multi-period dc optimal power flow model...Show More
Nuclear power development requires completing and vast supply chain as a support. From the perspective of life cycle, the paper analyzes and identifies the scope of NPP supply chain, develops nuclear power plant programme supply chain model that is of vital importance to ensure the scheduled construction and sound operation of new nuclear programme. In line with the elements of supply chain, the p...Show More

Ukraine Power Sector is facing the dramatic challenge - a necessity to essentially change its generating capacity structure caused by such main factors: the rapid implementation of intermittent renewables, mainly wind and solar; a high share of obsolete coal-fired thermal power plants, which are not suitable to provide flexibility to the power system; seasonally dependent and very limited water re...Show More
Unlike conventional power sources, nuclear power plants (NPPs) have unique requirements and have stringent voltage and frequency limitations that must be fulfilled to ensure its safe and efficient operation. These requirements must be considered to construct and operate an NPP in a safe, secure and technically sound manner. As a country still dependent on fossil-fuel based power generation, the in...Show More
For the coming years an increasing share of volatile feed-in from renewable energy sources in the electrical power system is expected. This feed-in will go along with rising uncertainties which have to be balanced in the generation system using flexibilities and balancing reserves. Thus, the efficient reserve coverage by power plants becomes more import and its provision is modeled within a unit c...Show More

Nuclear power has been declining in importance over the last quarter century, with its share of global electrical energy generation decreasing from 17.5 percent in 1996 to around 10 percent in 2019. Small modular and advanced nuclear reactors have been proposed as potential ways of dealing with the problems-specifically economic competitiveness, risk of accidents, link to proliferation and product...Show More
This study uses data mining and visual analysis methods to analyze the research themes and hot spots in the three research stages of China's nuclear power generation research in the CNKI literature database. In order to systematically sorting out the historical context of China's nuclear power generation research and judging the next phase of research focus.Show More
This paper focuses on the future power demand and how nuclear power can be a major contributor to meet this demand in an eco-friendly and economical way. The current state of the nuclear industry in the United States is discussed. The key elements to a successful industry are highlighted. The ways to help promote and enhance the viability of the nuclear industry in the world are recommended.Show More
The use of nuclear power for electricity generation using nuclear power reactors are well-known. Malaysia is considering the use of nuclear power in her energy mix. Engineers with nuclear engineering background will be needed alongside other engineering disciplines. The planning window for a national nuclear power program is long, but the need to graduate nuclear engineers from Malaysian universit...Show More
A study was conducted to compare the electricity generation costs of fossil fuel plants, hydro plants, nuclear plants and a number of current commercial technologies expected to become commercially available within the coming decade or so in China. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions resulting per Kwh of electricity generated was evaluated. The objectives were to estimated the costs increase in...Show More
China is faced with significant challenges in the energy sector such as energy shortage, environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emission, and energy supply in rural areas, which severely restrict its sustainable development. The promotion of a sustainable energy system is the key solution to tackling those issues. In this paper, the current status and trends of sustainable energy development in C...Show More

In 2005 electricity generation from renewable energy sources in Hungary was 1721.7 gigawatthour (GWh) which was 4.5% of the total consumption while in the previous year this ratio was only 2.3% i.e. 884 GWh. By the end of 2005 Hungary exceeded the envisaged 3.6%, which will be increased to 7% by 2010. The authors were active members of individual, industry-academia projects in the clean power fiel...Show More
