nuclear energy as clean energy, produces electricity, reduces carbon dioxide and, through the nuclear power plant (NPP), converts the nuclear energy into thermal energy through fission process;
Abstract:
A large number of great scientists created wonderful innovations that led to electric power systems as we know them today. Today, dependence on electric power is so entrenched in our societies that we cannot imagine our lives without electricity. We indeed take electricity for granted, so when we experience an outage, we realize how our lives are dependent on electricity. This dependency creates a formidable challenge for engineers to make the power system the most reliable and efficient complex system ever built by humans. Because of the overall development and the growing need for electricity, all this requires finding new and environmentally friendly ways to produce electricity. One of the most important of these methods is the use of nuclear energy as clean energy to produce electricity. Because of the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels to avoid climate change, nuclear power can be considered to be able to address this problem. However, this method, although important, is also less safe and more expensive due to some considerations, such as nuclear fuel, which includes natural uranium, enriched uranium, or plutonium. as well as serious accidents in nuclear reactors that occurred, such as Three Mile Island in the United States in March 1979, Chernobyl in Ukraine in April 1986, and Fukushima in March 2011 in Japan. All these factors have led to the non-use of this method compared to other renewable energies such as solar, wind and hydropower. This thesis examined one of the ways to produce electricity by renewable energy, especially nuclear power, Operating the nuclear reactor will produce a huge amount of heat, which can be used to rotate the turbine, which will generate the required electricity. An electrical nuclear power plant (NPP) consists of two major parts: The reactor, which converts the nuclear energy into thermal energy through fission process; and The classical part of the power plant, which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy. It is also touched on safety requirement as important part while using the nuclear reactor, the Fission process, the basic components of power system and its main parts. Due to the distribution system is playing a very important role in the power system, this thesis confused on some examples, such as the transmission line and transformer.
