The Concept of a Methodology for Selecting the Optimal Parameters of Heat Received from a Nuclear Power Plant Operating in a Partial Cogeneration Mode
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the concept of the objective function which is to allow the selection of optimal parameters of the district heating system using a nuclear power plant operating in partial cogeneration mode. The concept is based on research carried out a number of years ago as part of [10]. The size of annual expenses was proposed as the objective function, which allows to compare the operation of a nuclear power plant in partial cogeneration with selected variants of supply to the heating system (combined heat and power station or conventional power plant and a conventional heating station). The analysis allows selecting the optimal structure of the heat supply system, which will provide the highest economic efficiency.
