  1. Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) collaborated to conduct an investigation of the dynamic performance of a solar-driven supercritical CO2 (SCO2) Brayton cycle. This was performed on the SNL recompression closed Brayton cycle (RCBC) at the Nuclear Energy Systems Laboratory / Brayton Lab. Historical data were provided to CSIRO since the test assembly remained inoperable throughout the project. Also, multidimensional trade studies were generated using the SNL Recompression closed Brayton cycle Engineering and Trade Studies (RETS©) tool.
