Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Operators

Companies operating nuclear power plants see significant advantages in developing OAPS for the following reasons:

  1. Optimization of NPP Operations
    Nuclear power plants operate most efficiently in a base-load mode with a stable output. OAPS helps smooth out daily fluctuations in electricity demand, allowing NPPs to operate at nominal power without frequent adjustments.

  2. Avoiding Power Reductions and Reactor Shutdowns
    NPPs are not designed for rapid power adjustments, and frequent load changes accelerate equipment wear. OAPS allows excess electricity to be stored during periods of low demand (nighttime and daytime), preventing the need to throttle down reactors.

  3. Financial Benefits
    By storing low-cost electricity at night and selling it during peak hours at higher prices, OAPS enhances the profitability of nuclear power units.

  4. Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuel-Based Peaking Power Plants
    Without OAPS, grid balancing often relies on gas- or coal-fired power stations, increasing costs and CO₂ emissions. OAPS facilitates a higher share of nuclear energy in the grid without requiring additional fossil fuel-based reserves.

  5. Improved Grid Reliability
    NPPs provide base-load generation and cannot rapidly respond to sudden demand spikes. OAPS can quickly supply electricity when needed, enhancing system reliability and mitigating blackout risks.

  6. Strategic Development and Green Transition
    Many national energy policies prioritize low-carbon solutions. OAPS, in combination with nuclear power, supports the development of a clean, reliable, and economically viable energy system, encouraging government support for such projects.

  7. Hybrid Projects: OAPS+ NPP + RES
    When integrated with renewable energy sources (solar and wind), OAPS enhances grid flexibility and maximizes the efficiency of nuclear power generation.
