20140362968 | SYSTEM FOR REMOVING THE RESIDUAL POWER OF A PRESSURISED WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR - A system for removing the residual power of a pressurised water nuclear reactor, includes a reserve of water, a steam generator, wherein the primary water heated by the core either circulates in a forced manner during power operation, or circulates naturally when the primary pump is stopped, and a condenser housed in the containment vessel. The condenser includes a recovery unit for recovering the condensed water and a condenser link to ensure the circulation of water in a closed circuit between the reserve and the condenser. The system further includes a device for circulating the secondary water between the steam generator and the condenser, the device being activated without an external supply of electrical energy, when an operating parameter characteristic of excessive heating of the primary water reaches a certain threshold, such that the primary water heated by the core and circulating in the steam generator vaporises the secondary water. | 12-11-2014 |
20140265608 | SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AND DISTRIBUTING ELECTRICAL ENERGY OVER AN ELECTRICAL GRID, AND ASSOCIATED OPTIMIZATION METHOD - A system for producing and distributing electrical energy over an electrical network of a geographic area, includes a first entity for generating electrical energy, which operates in a steady state and generates at least a portion of the electrical energy; a second entity for intermittently generating the electrical energy from renewable energy; a third entity, which is capable of operating in a load-following state, the system being sized such that the profile of the change in total energy potential of the geographic area over the span of one year, corresponding to the sum of the profile of the change in the amount of electrical energy distributed by the main entity and the profile of the change in the amount of electrical energy generated by the second entity over the span of one year, is less than the profile of the change in the demand for electrical energy of the network. | 09-18-2014 |
