Nuclear-Renewable Hybrid Energy Systems
Overview:
The energy markets in Canada and internationally are moving towards hybrid systems that maximize the benefits of nuclear power and increase the deployment of renewable energy systems. This specialized two-day (2) course focuses on Nuclear-Renewable Hybrid Energy Systems (N-R HES) and the knowledge gained will enable attendees to be ready for a wide range of infrastructure projects that include a variety of energy sources.
You will receive an Ontario Tech University certificate upon successful completion of this course.
Who should attend?
You may use the knowledge and skills developed through this course to prepare you for understanding and working with N-R HES, such as:
- Graduate students, alumni and researchers studying or working in energy, energy systems and nuclear science fields;
- Energy and transportation electrification planners;
- Energy, utility and small modular reactor (SMR) provider employees;
- Policy makers and government officials involved with energy systems regulation;
- Energy end users.
What you'll learn
- The needs, requirements, design, and operational aspects of integrated nuclear and renewable hybrid energy systems;
- The foundations to analyze, design and evaluate integrated nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems with different implementation strategies that are optimized based on energy demand and user requirements;
- Challenges and approaches to achieve practical and profitable Nuclear-Renewable Hybrid Energy System (N-R HES) deployments, using key parameters such as design, control, and operational factors, including scalability, capital cost, project lifetime, construction period, land acquisition, ecological safety, and technological aspects;
- Business activity modeling with IDEF0 to reflect practical implementation steps with unified activities and practices;
- Techno-economic analysis methods will be explained and used to evaluate different operational scenarios and strategies.
