Development of a Pilot-scale Supercritical-CO2 Brayton Cycle Demonstration Loop
FY 2012-13 · 2013-03-26
Summary
The objective of this Project is to construct a 50-250 kilowatt (kW) pilot-scale supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) Brayton Cycle Demonstration Loop for coal-based electricity generation. This Project is part of a broader research program, conducted around the world, to develop next generation cleaner coal technology. The Brayton Cycle is one of the potential options being developed as a key, new component in next generation cleaner coal systems. Conceptually, next generation cleaner coal systems offer substantial system size reduction, lower capital and operating costs, and improvement in overall energy conversion efficiency relative to the current first generation fossil fuel technologies retrofitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems

Description (French)
Ce projet a pour but de construire une boucle de démonstration à cycle de Brayton du dioxyde de carbone supercritique à l'échelle pré-industrielle de 50-250 kilowatts (kW) pour la production d'électricité à partir de charbon. Ce projet s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un programme de recherche plus vaste mené aux quatre coins du globe dans le but de développer la technologie du charbon moins polluante de la prochaine génération. Le cycle de Brayton est une des options éventuelles que l'on est en train de mettre au point en tant que nouveau composant clé des systèmes au charbon moins polluants de la prochaine génération. Conceptuellement, ces systèmes présentent une taille considérablement réduite, ils occasionnent des frais d'immobilisation et d'exploitation moindres et ils améliorent le rendement de conversion énergétique global relativement aux technologies des combustibles fossiles de la première génération actuelles adaptées aux systèmes de captage et de stockage du carbone.
