Abstract

The interest in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) power cycles has grown exponentially in the last decade, thanks to distinctive features like the possibility to achieve high thermal efficiencies at intermediate temperature, small footprint and adaptability to a wide variety of energy sources. In the present work, the potential of this technology is studied for Concentrated Solar Power applications, in particular Solar Tower systems with Thermal Energy Storage.
