The new system, which the team purports could be more efficient than existing power-generating systems, is based off of a thermodynamics process described through a closed-loop Brayton cycle ...

The illustration shows a recompression closed Brayton cycle with arrows indicating the flow of supercritical carbon-dioxide (S- CO2). Starting at the lower left corner, S-CO2 is heated and sent ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratory have successfully tested a new power system based on a closed-loop Brayton cycle to deliver electricity to the grid. The system ...

demonstrating the commercial readiness of its next-generation indirect sCO 2 Brayton cycle. The $169 million project—the largest of its kind in the world—demonstrated a simple cycle ...

A diagram of Sandia National Laboratories’ simple closed-loop Brayton cycle test loop. The working fluid being compressed, heated and expanded to produce power is supercritical carbon dioxide.
