Description

The main characteristics of the secondary system of ALFRED demonstrator are introduced by assessing the possibility of integrating an energy storage system or cogeneration system. The first option is based on molten salts thermal storage that are used to produce low pressure steam to be turbined down producing an extra electricity output. The latter consists on a hydrogen production facility that generates hydrogen gas by means of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) high temperature electrolyzers using electricity and main steam produced in the nuclear plant.
