Abstract
A facility for generating mechanical energy by means of a combined power cycle is disclosed herein, which includes at least means for carrying out a closed or semi-closed, constituent regenerative Brayton cycle, which uses water as a heat-transfer fluid, means for carrying out at least one Rankine cycle, a constituent fundamental Rankine cycle, interconnected with the regenerative Brayton cycle, and a heat pump (UAX) including a closed circuit that regenerates the constituent regenerative Brayton cycle, as well as to the method for generating energy using the facility.

An installation to generate mechanical energy using a Combined Power Cycle including at least:
- means to implement a closed or semi-closed regenerative constituent Brayton cycle which uses water as thermal fluid, said means to implement a closed or semi-closed regenerative constituent Brayton cycle comprising:
- an essential heat source (101)
- a high temperature turbine TAT (102)
- a CO2 liquefaction plant (107) comprising means for compression-intercooling-stripping facility
- a regeneration reboiler (113)
- a regeneration condensate pump (111)
- a heat recovery exchanger (112) and
- a condensate pump (129)
- means to implement at least one constituent basic Rankine cycle, interconnected with the regenerative constituent Brayton cycle, said means to implement at least one constituent basic Rankine cycle comprising
- economiser Coils (120) located inside a heat recovery Conduit CRC (103),
- Evaporators and Superheaters for the water vapour (121) located inside the heat recovery Conduit CRC (103),
- a high-pressure Turbine TAP (122)
- a heat sink (128)
- a condensate return pump (109)
- a condensate return Preheater (110)
- one condensation heat exchanger Element (106)
- a feedwater pump (119) and
- a power shaft (130) and
- a heat pump (200) capable of working between the temperatures between which a cold reservoir (201) and a hot reservoir (210) work, which makes up a closed circuit that regenerates the regenerative constituent Brayton cycle.
