Abstract
Methods of operating a supercritical Brayton cycle integrated with another cycle for power, cogeneration, or poly-generation using solar energy as a main source of energy. A system includes a supercritical COBrayton cycle as a topping cycle and any one or more of a power cycle, a cooling cycle, a steam production cycle, and a water desalination cycle as a lower cycle. When not enough solar irradiation is available to power the combined cycle, the lower cycle is only operated or both part of the topping cycle as well as the lower cycle through the solar thermal energy and/or the stored thermal energy.
