Title: Method for controlling start-up and steady state performance of a closed split flow recompression brayton cycle

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1342737

A method of resolving a balanced condition that generates control parameters for start-up and steady state operating points and various component and cycle performances for a closed split flow recompression cycle system. The method provides for improved control of a Brayton cycle thermal to electrical power conversion system. The method may also be used for system design, operational simulation and/or parameter prediction.
