Abstract
Two concentrated solar power (CSP) concepts utilizing
supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton cycle are
dynamically simulated and compared regarding their
overall performance and detailed sub-process behaviour.
Concept 1 uses sCO2 both as heat transfer fluid (HTF) in
the solar field and as working fluid in the power cycle,
whereas Concept 2 uses molten salt as HTF and
additionally takes advantage of a two-tank molten salt
storage system to guarantee continuous power production.
Concept 1 has been studied before, whereas Concept 2
presents a novel idea to combine high efficiency of sCO2
as the working fluid and the dispatchable nature of
molten salt solar systems. Dynamic simulation software
Aprosr was used to model and simulate the concepts,
providing detailed results and insights on the system
behaviour.
