Abstract
The present invention provides methods and system for power generation using a high efficiency combustor in combination with a COcirculating fluid. The methods and systems advantageously can make use of a low pressure ratio power turbine and an economizer heat exchanger in specific embodiments. Additional low grade heat from an external source can be used to provide part of an amount of heat needed for heating the recycle COcirculating fluid. Fuel derived COcan be captured and delivered at pipeline pressure. Other impurities can be captured.
