Abstract

Microgrids, comprised of a diverse portfolio of efficient energy sources, present a promising approach to managing localized power systems, exemplified by university campuses. The successful implementation of such microgrids necessitates a rigorous and multifaceted analytical framework. Given the dynamic and computationally intensive nature of the modeling process, which involves numerous interdependent variables, System Dynamics (SD) was adopted as the analytical methodology. A fifty-year SD model was developed to harness the computational power of this approach. The accompanying figure depicts the SD model, encompassing key components such as Microgrid Control, Distributed Resources, and Small Modular Reactor (SMR)-based Nuclear Energy. Nuclear energy availability exhibited a fluctuating trajectory in the initial three decades, subsequently gaining significant prominence due to its zero-carbon emissions and high energy efficiency. Other energy sources demonstrated a gradual increase in availability, while "Marketing & Power Plant" and "Microgrid Control" exhibited cyclical patterns of growth. The significance of energy efficiency within university campuses cannot be overstated, as the associated cost savings can directly support and enhance educational and research initiatives.

期刊介绍： Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field. Please note the following: 1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy. 2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc. 3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
