NEUP CINR-21-23975: Development of Thermal Power Dispatch Simulation Tools for BWR Flexible Plant Operation and Generation

In the U.S. domestic light water reactor fleet, about one-third of operational nuclear power reactors are boiling water reactors. Thermal power extraction technologies to be designed for BWRs will be different from those for PWRs due to differences in steam generation. This study proposes investigating the thermal and electric power dispatch and required control algorithms for dynamic heat dispatch of up to 50% of the thermal energy from a BWR plant to a hydrogen plant.
