RCBC Automatic Monitoring and Control Recommendations
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
- David Dewis Consulting, Bath, ME (United States)
The recompression closed Brayton cycle (RCBC) test rig at the Sandia Brayton Laboratory provides a development platform to accelerate the commercialization of key technologies for supercritical CO2 (sCO2) closed loop Brayton cycles. The test rig enables testing to gain experience and confidence with new technologies, equipment, and processes, and automating monitors and controls will enhance Sandia’s ability to perform the types and amounts of testing needed. This report identifies candidates for automatic monitoring and control to ensure the loop remains within design limits and minimize risk to equipment due to off-normal events or conditions.
