Certain types of coal-fired power plants are capable of meeting the 636 kg CO2/MWh emissions limit in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) new source performance standards for new ...

The system uses carbon dioxide in a closed-loop “Brayton-cycle” turbine to crank up electric conversion from heat, said Gary Rochau, manager of the advanced nuclear concepts group at Sandia’s Nuclear ...

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 system, called Brayton-cycle turbines, would ideally replace the steam-driven Rankine-cycle turbines, which not only have lower efficiency but are corrosive at high temperatures. These old ...

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 ...

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.

Gas turbine aero engines employ the Brayton cycle in their operation. A critical parameter for high thermal efficiency is the turbine flow path ...

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 ...
