Abstract Energy cost and consumption are increasing, so that efficiency becomes more important, from the production to end users. reserves limited; increasing demand environmental concerns make important. To provide cost-effective clean power generation, gas turbines cogeneration becoming key technology must be researched developed. Three different cycles analyzed by using first second laws of ...

This paper focuses on the thermodynamic comparison between pure supercritical Carbon Dioxide and blended transcritical power cycles by means of a thorough exergy analysis, considering efficiency, destruction efficiency losses from Carnot cycle as main figures merit. A reference plant based steam Rankine representative state-of-the-art (SoA) Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants is selected base...
