One promising avenue for the development of next generation CST (Concentrating Solar Thermal) technology focuses on the use of a direct-heated sCO 2 (supercritical-CO 2 ) CBC (closed Brayton cycle) as the generator power cycle. Initial investigations into such a CST plant, while promising, have found its power output and efficiency to be sensitive to fluctuations in solar heat input...
The effect of the relative hot-to-cold side volume-ratios on dynamic characteristics of a CBC (closed Brayton cycle) with sCO 2 (supercritical carbon-dioxide) as the working-fluid is investigated in this study. The analysis of the CBC is conducted in the context of power generation in a direct-heated (no thermal-oil loop) and dry-cooled parabolic-trough solar thermal power plant, using a control-oriented...
The dynamics of a direct-heated closed Brayton power conversion system (PCS) with supercritical carbon-dioxide as the working-fluid (sCO 2 PCS) is investigated in this study. Simulations of the dynamic response of the sCO 2 PCS to changes in ambient air temperatures and solar energy input from parabolic trough collectors on representative days for summer and winter are presented. A...
