...Ali Sulaiman Alsagri; Andrew Chiasson; Mohamed Gadalla The aim of this study was to conduct thermodynamic and economic analyses of a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant to drive a supercritical CO 2 recompression Brayton cycle. The objectives were to assess the system viability in a location...

... technologies. However, CSP research focus is shifting toward the use of supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycles due to the significant improvement in thermal efficiencies. Here, we present a techno-economic study that compares the generated power and freshwater produced from a CSP system operated with a Rankine...

...; published online October 19, 2012. Assoc. Editor: Wojciech Lipinski. 27 02 2012 19 09 2012 The operational conditions of the solar-thermal receiver for a Brayton cycle engine are challenging, and lack a large body of operational data unlike steam plants. We explore the receiver's...

... performance is not appreciably different for the two strategies, so that other factors such as mechanical design, operational issues, economics, etc. must be used to decide the optimal approach. concentrating solar power (CSP) Brayton cycle gas turbine variable guide vanes hybridization bypass...

...Kyle Kitzmiller; Fletcher Miller Gas-cooled solar receivers for concentrating solar power plants are capable of providing high temperature, pressurized gas for electrical power generation via a Brayton cycle. This can be accomplished by expanding hot, pressurized gas directly through a turbine...

... technology and closed Brayton power cycles are being developed for high-temperature nuclear reactors. These developments may provide the technology and industrial basis for an advanced solar power tower. 03 05 2005 08 07 2006 furnaces Brayton cycle heat transfer fluorine compounds...

...Y. Zhang; J. Chen A solar dynamic (SD) power system composed of a concentrating solar collector and an irreversible Brayton cycle system is set up, where the heat losses of the collector are dominated by the radiation, the heat transfer between the collector and the Brayton cycle system obeys...
