Title: Techno-Economics and Cost Modeling for State-of-the-Art sCO2 Components

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1573214

This presentation was delivered at the beginning of the U.S. DOE Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Workshop in Golden Colorado on 10/31/19, to provide workshop participants with context on the economics of sCO2 power cycles and their components.  The presentation provides an overview of three recent NETL projects that advance the state-of-the-art in sCO2 cycle costing and economic optimization: 1. The collaborative development of sCO2 component cost correlations using the collective resources of the DOE's National Laboratories to model sCO2 component vendor costs spanning multiple applications and size ranges; 2. the development of cost and performance spreadsheet models for four sCO2 cooling technologies and their use in minimizing sCO2 plant cost of electricity (COE) via reductions in cold cycle temperature; and 3. the development of a primary heater cost and performance model for optimized thermal integration with sCO2 power cycles to minimize plant COE.
