Status of TECDOC Report on “Options to Enhance Energy Supply Security using

HES based on SMRs”

Muzammal HussainSMR Technology DevelopmentNuclear Power Technology Development SectionDivision of Nuclear power, Department of Nuclear Energy

Definitions

HES:Hybrid Energy Systems integrate energy conversion processes to optimize energy management, reliability, security, and sustainability.

ESS:Energy Supply Security is a reliable continuous supply of energy at an affordable cost.

HES Concept

HES Potential Benefits

• Effective Integration of RES

• Overcome intermittency challenges

• NPP as beyond base load

• Enhanced efficiency

• Cogeneration application

• Infrastructure compatible product

Energy Supply Security

• Adequate supply to meet basic needs and development aspirations;

• Self-sufficiency;

• Protection against supply disruptions;

• Protection against price volatility;

• Physical plant and infrastructure reliability;

• Diversity of technologies and sources;

• Threats to and/or from neighbouring states;

• Energy markets that function well;

• Economic sustainability of supply (profitability);

• Environmental benignity
