Determination of the efficiency of electric power production by nuclear power plants using the methodology of full energy costs. Part 1. Energy costs for construction
Journal Title: Проблеми загальної енергетики - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The results of a study on the determination of the efficiency of electric power generation by nuclear power plants with VVER-1000 reactors based on the full energy cost methodology are presented. The methodology for determining the effectiveness of technology using this methodology was published earlier. Part 1 defines the total energy costs for the construction of nuclear power plants. The main indicators of the energy intensity of the construction of nuclear power plants with VVER-1000 reactors are determined, among which: the specific energy intensity of the NPP unit construction is 246 GJ / kW provided that the policy of National Bank of Ukraine is invariable, and the average hryvnia inflation is 6% /yr, or it is 140 GJ/kW at the hryvnia rate corresponding to the predicted parity of purchasing power of US dollar. The specific energy intensity of a large nuclear power plant is 220 or 125 GJ/kW for the Same two variants. The obtained results will allow to estimate the NPP energy efficiency by the methodology of determining the total energy costs. In Part 2, calculations will be made on the energy costs for nuclear fuel. Part 3 provides coverage of energy costs for NPP operation for 40 years, the costs of its elimination and the determination of the final efficiency of electricity generation at nuclear power plants. Parts 2 and 3 will be published in the next issue of the collection.
