Study on development cost of replacing nuclear power by renewable energy

In this paper, a system development cost analysis model about replacing nuclear power by renewable energy from the view of power system planning is established, considering the factors, such as investment costs, operation and maintaining costs, transmission costs, etc.. An example system is used to study the development costs of several different cases. Study results show that, in the case of safety, the rational development of nuclear power can effectively reduce development costs of the system.
