Carbon-free thermally driven district cooling systems (DCS) can effectively mitigate the excessive electricity consumption and carbon emissions associated with sector. This study proposes a DCS that employs nuclear heat as primary energy source. The system comprises three main subsystems: station, transmission, station. A heat-only small modular reactor called Teplator, gas boilers, storage are considered to supply required drive absorption chillers; cold compression chillers supplementary...
The Teplator is a nuclear heat-only reactor under development in the Czech Republic, which uses already irradiated spent fuel (SNF). This study aims to assess feasibility of integrating this technology with district heating systems (DHSs) compared other technologies. Therefore, sector Republic evaluated, need for alternative clean energy sources explained, and some potential candidate locations implementing proposed are determined. availability required SNF investigated. An economic model...
The heat-only small modular reactor (SMR) concept is one of the potential carbon-free solutions for replacing fossil fuel-based district heating systems (DHSs). This idea faces an economic challenge (high levelized cost heat) due to high capital and low capacity factor (because demand fluctuations) in stand-alone operation mode. study proposes integrating DHSs with SMRs organic Rankine cycle (ORC) electricity generation maximize system's profit. Heat storage, gas boiler, storage are...
