Second law analysis of a waste heat recovery combined power cycle using transcritical carbon dioxide
Common power cycles discard a large portion of useful energy into the environment via exhaust gasses. Through the use of cascade bottoming cycles, this wasted exergy may be utilized for power generation and hot water production. Heat transfer between cycles occurs through a heat exchanger. To …

The Off-Design Modelling of a Combined-Cycle Power Plant
… are more attainable through the use of combined-cycle power plants. These aspects are required to account for the fluctuation of the supply as well as the demand of power that is associated with renewable energy. Combined-cycle power plants consist of a gas turbine as the topping cycle, forming …

Thermoelectric device characterization and solar thermoelectric system modeling
… We explored the idea of a solar thermoelectric topping cycle (STET) in which a thermoelectric generator (TEG) is added at high temperature to increase the overall efficiency of the solar Rankine cycle. In this design the perimeter of the receiver tube is covered with thermoelectrics so that the …
