Abstract
A method for operating a closed loop regenerative thermodynamic power generation cycle system is presented. The method includes supplying a high-temperature working fluid stream at a first pressure Pto an expander, and extracting a partially expanded high temperature working fluid stream from the expander at a second pressure P. Each of the first pressure Pand the second pressure P, are higher than a critical pressure of the working fluid; and the second pressure Pis lower than P. The method further includes regeneratively supplying the extracted high temperature working fluid stream at the second pressure Pto a low temperature working fluid stream at the first pressure P. A closed loop regenerative thermodynamic power generation cycle system is also presented.
