Abstract







The author of this paper presented the results of a system analysis using MARKAL model, aiming at the optimization of nuclear power share in power generation structure in Poland in time perspective by 2060. Optimization criterion is the minimization of the objective function, i.e. the total cost of energy system, taking into account constraints related to CO<sub>2</sub>, SO<sub>x</sub> and NO<sub>x</sub> emissions and obligatory shares of electricity from renewable energy sources and generated in high-efficiency cogeneration. The results of model runs include the least-cost structure of both electricity generation and installed capacity, with emphasis put on nuclear power.
