Under the drive of the “dual carbon” goals, the insufficient frequency regulation capability of nuclear power as a baseload source and the dynamic demand of integrating a high proportion of renewable energy into the grid have increasingly highlighted conflicts. The inherent minute-level regulation inertia of nuclear power units struggles to cope with second-level frequency fluctuations in the grid, leading to an increased risk of system instability. There is an urgent need for energy storage technologies to fill the millisecond-level power support gap for nuclear power frequency regulation. This paper, focusing on nuclear power frequency regulation scenarios, constructs a “Technology–Economy–Policy” multidimensional energy storage evaluation system for the first time. Through a systematic analysis of 11 key indicators, such as response time and safety, the paper selects energy storage technologies suitable for nuclear power frequency regulation scenarios and proposes a hybrid energy storage optimization strategy. The research provides a systematic evaluation framework and empirical support for the selection of energy storage for nuclear power frequency regulation, with significant practical value in improving grid dynamic stability and promoting the construction of new power systems under the “dual carbon” goals.
