Sažetak
Why specific interest in SMRs? • Small grid problems • Financing problems • Emission-free, and carbon-free clean energy urgent and immediate - Carbon Free Power • Nuclear energy contributes to the three major energy policy objectives: — security of supply, — decarbonisation of the electricity sector and — competitive power prices — Nevertheless, the sector faces a number of challenges 2030 Energy Strategy • Targets for 2030 — a 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels — at least a 27% share of renewable energy consumption — at least 27% energy savings compared with the business-as-usual scenario • EU Low-Carbon Economy Roadmap – The power sector has the biggest potential for cutting emissions. It can almost totally eliminate CO2 emissions by 2050. Electricity will come from renewable sources like wind, solar, water and biomass or other low- emission sources like nuclear power plants or fossil fuel power stations equipped with carbon capture & storage technology. This will also require strong investments in smart grids. CROATIA Long-term low carbon development strategy to 2050 • Optimization of power sector development until year 2050 to limit emission of CO2 • Power sector modelled in PLEXOS programme • Hourly chronological model for demand and production • Different hydrological conditions (average, dry) • Horizon year 2070 • Wind and solar production base on real cases • Based on Energy Efficiency Programme and Action Plan for RES • Need to improve the economic of SMR – competitiveness (investment costs < 2500 EUR/kW) • Enable new market-based investment • Need for additional revenue not only for electricity (kWh) • Additional payments — Capacity payment — Load following payment • Ancillary services payments — Secondary reserve — Tertiary reserve Compensation for grid los • How to finance modular NPP? — Develop model for financing and income based on energy and ancillary services — How to evaluate long-term benefits? • Load-following possibilities with nuclear plants — Need for detailed modelling and analysing of power plant operation (on minutes time schedule) and detail data for ramp rate (up & down) & start- up costs.
