sCO2 Brayton Cycle: Roadmap to sCO2 Power Cycles NE Commercial Applications
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The mission of the Energy Conversion (EC) area of the Advanced Reactor Technology (ART) program is to commercialize the sCO2 Brayton cycle for Advance Reactors and for the Supercritical Transformational Electric Production (STEP) program. The near-term objective of the EC team efforts is to support the development of a commercially scalable Recompression Closed Brayton Cycle (RCBC) to be constructed for the first STEP demonstration system with the lowest risk possible. This document details the status of technology, policy and market considerations, documentation of gaps and needs, and outlines the steps necessary for the successful development and deployment of commercial sCO2 Brayton Power Systems along the path to nuclear reactor applications.
