    摘要: A solar energy receiver includes a plurality of solar receiver elements. Each solar receiver element includes a substantially solid core configured to absorb solar radiation and to store the solar radiation as heat. The core includes a base surface and a plurality of absorption surfaces. The receiver further includes at least one fluid passageway defined within the core adjacent at least one absorption surface of the plurality of absorption surfaces, wherein the at least one fluid passageway is configured to channel a working fluid therethrough for absorbing heat stored in the core.

    摘要: A power plant may include a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator having an MHD exhaust that is cooled using a compressor exit flow to a temperature at which the MHD exhaust can be fed to at least one stage of a gas turbine. The heated compressor exit flow may be used to feed a combustor for the MHD generator. In an alternative embodiment, the gas turbine exhaust may be used in a heat recovery steam generator for a steam turbine system, and then fed back to a compressor for the combustor to the MHD generator. In another embodiment, a power plant may include a compressor exit flow feeding a combustor for an MHD generator and an MHD exhaust may be mixed with a compressor pre-exit, extraction flow for feeding to at least one stage of a gas turbine.

    摘要: A regenerative closed loop thermodynamic power generation cycle system is presented. The system includes a high-pressure expander to deliver an exhaust stream. A conduit is fluidly coupled to the high-pressure expander, which is configured to split the exhaust stream from the high-pressure expander into a first exhaust stream and a second exhaust stream. The system further includes a first low-pressure expander and a second low-pressure expander. The first low-pressure expander is coupled to a pressurization device through a turbocompressor shaft, and fluidly coupled to receive the first exhaust stream. The second low-pressure expander is coupled to the high-pressure expander and an electrical generator through a turbogenerator shaft, and fluidly coupled to receive the second exhaust stream. A method for operating the regenerative closed loop thermodynamic power generation cycle system is also presented.
