Modelling Flexible Nuclear Power Plant Integration in Future Low Carbon Energy SystemsExciting PhD Opportunity to work with National Nuclear Laboratory, University of Glasgow and HI-ACTThis PhD will explore future energy scenarios and techno-economic modelling of multi-vector services e.g., heat, electricity, and hydrogen from Nuclear Power Plant Integration (NPPI) into Whole Energy System models. Regional and UK national optimization methodologies will be explored. The total whole-system benefits of operating different reactor configurations will be quantified for several scenarios in the context of the current and future (potential) reward mechanisms within the UKs energy market. An objective of this research will be to use whole-system and multi-objective optimization analysis, coupled to multi-agent market analysis, as to understand how best to minimizes the total system costs of NPPI, and to conduct a comparative analysis of traditional nuclear power plants vs flexible NPPI.Please refer to the following website for details on how to apply for academic admission: https://lnkd.in/eCD387GY.
