The SECO{sub 2} Power energy storage system is analyzed as a retrofit bottoming cycle for existing Virginia Power combustion turbines (CT's). The closed-loop SECO{sub 2} power system produces on-peak energy using a CO{sub 2} Rankine cycle which rejects heat to {minus} 70{degrees}F stored CO{sub 2} triple point solid; off-peak energy later regenerates the solid. Inherent advantages of the system are shown to be compact storage, minimal environmental impact, and dry-cooled capability, all of which contribute to flexibility in siting and rapid licensing/construction schedules.
