Abstract:
An operating model for nuclear-hydrogen integration (NHI) is developed based on an in-depth analysis of the future trajectories of the electricity and hydrogen markets. A planning model is proposed to determine the optimal capacity allocation ratio between nuclear power and hydrogen storage systems, while also optimizing the on-grid output of NHI within a reasonable range of system load factors. The results indicate that the optimal capacity ratio of nuclear power to electrolyzers and fuel cells is approximately 1: 0.41: 0.36. Flexibility analysis shows that NHI adjusts output from 51.3 % to 128 % of the rated power for nuclear power, enabling it to adapt effectively to load variations. Economically, NHI achieves a total revenue of 18.37 billion CNY, which is approximately 56.0 % lower than that of nuclear-pumped storage integration (NPSI). These findings suggest in regions with favorable geographical conditions for constructing pumped storage power plants, NPSI may represent a more economically viable operating strategy.
