The majority of economically developed countries actively promote the systems of distributed generation using renewable energy sources, primarily sun and wind. The cost of produced electric power in such systems can be significantly reduced when using nuclear hydrogen power plants to comprise a power reserve when it becomes necessary to decrease the production of hydrogen and supply electric power from nuclear power plants to the network in order to meet assigned load demands. The article discusses a methodology for calculating local power systems that combine nuclear hydrogen power plants with solar and wind power plants, as well as providing calculations of the effect of including nuclear hydrogen power plants along with unconventional power plants in the local power systems of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
