Smart, stable, reliable. Smart grids and nuclear power in low carbon energy systems
Creators
Description
Nuclear power combined with smart power grids — the two-way networks that connect producers to consumers and use new technologies to do so — can help countries transition to low carbon electricity sources and ensure reliable, stable and sustainable energy supplies. Many countries are diversifying their mix of low carbon energy sources to help them decarbonize their economies and achieve their climate goals. This has led to a global shift towards renewable energy sources; however, these sources alone are not able to fully and reliably meet demand.
