| Thermal and Electrical Coupling to Electrolysis Plants |
|---|
| Close coupling of nuclear and electrolysis plants requires modifications of the power transmission station to take advantage of the low-cost, clean electricity produced by nuclear plants. In addition, high-temperature electrolysis can reduce the cost of electrolysis when the steam produced by nuclear plants is used to heat and produce steam for electrolysis. RELAP and HYSYS models provided the basis for preliminary hydrogen production studies. This work supports a conceptual architectural engineering design of the thermal energy delivery systems. Understanding the thermal and electrical interfaces is essential for PRAs and ensuring the safety of plant operations and protection and stability of the power systems and reactor core. |
