Abstract
There is provided a supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) power generation system including a first compression part and a second compression part to independently compress the working fluid; a first regeneration part to heat the working fluid compressed by the first compression part; a second regeneration part to heat the working fluid heated by the first regeneration part and the working fluid compressed by the second compression part; a main heat exchange part to transfer heat generated from a heat source to the working fluid; an expansion part to generate power by expanding the working fluid; a power transmission part to transmit the power; and a power generation part to generate electric power using the power.
Claims18
A supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) power generation system using supercritical CO2 as a working fluid, the supercritical CO2 power generation system comprising:
- a first compression part and a second compression part configured to independently compress the working fluid;
- a first regeneration part configured to heat the working fluid compressed by the first compression part;
- a second regeneration part configured to heat the working fluid heated by the first regeneration part and the working fluid compressed by the second compression part;
- a main heat exchange part configured to transfer heat generated from a heat source to the working fluid heated by the second regeneration part;
- an expansion part configured to generate power by expanding the working fluid that has received heat from the main heat exchange part;
- a power transmission part configured to transmit the power generated by the expansion part to the first compression part and the second compression part;
- and
- a power generation part configured to generate electric power using the power transmitted from the power transmission part.
