Abstract

The reconstruction of ageing thermal power plants with the possibility of their increased efficiency, prolonged service and decreased environmental impact is an intensely debated and researched topic nowadays. Among various concepts, the replacement of the steam cycle by a supercritical CO 2 cycle is proposed with the prospect of reaching higher efficiencies at the same working fluid inlet parameters as the ultra-supercritical steam cycles. A paper published previously by Rogalev et al. (2021) analyzed the variants of supercritical coal power plant reconstruction to a supercritical CO 2 cycle and ranked them according to the cycle efficiency. This contribution comments on the scope and applied method in that paper aiming to provide additional input relevant to the decision-making process on thermal power plant reconstruction to such a cycle.
