Fan power consumption at reduced mass flow rate for different ACC designs The researchers at University of Seville have presented their work assessing the part-load operation of supercritical power cycles running on Carbon Dioxide mixtures. As a continuation of the work presented at the 5th European Conference on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Energy Systems, where […]
Turbine flowpath for a 100 MWe SCARABEUS plant running on mixtures of Carbon Dioxide and Hexafluorobenzene The researchers at City, University of London have presented their work on the design of the flowpath of large axial turbines for integration into supercritical power cycles operating with Carbon Dioxide mixtures. This research is framed in Work […]
Turbo Expo is the flagship conference in the field of turbomachinery for power generation and aircraft and marine propulsion. The conference gathers ~2500 professionals annually, who meet to share the latest development of the scientific and industrial communities through technical, panel and tutorial sessions as well as keynote talks. The conference is organized by the […]
With the stamp on the nameplate, the long path of commissioning the test facility is now successfully finished. From the start of the SCARABEUS project in 2019, the team at TUW has worked very hard to make this happen. The steps involved: A HAZOP study, A design review, And the official commissioning, all […]
We are very glad to announce that the presentations of the 4th webinar on R&D Activities on sCO2 Activities in Europe are now available for download. Organised by ETN Global, coordinator of the CO2OLHEAT Project, this last event was focused on heat exchanger technology, since heat exchangers are core equipment of sCO2 systems with […]
Following the Dissemination and Communication Plan of the SCARABEUS project, an open Workshop was organised at the Technical University of Vienna, home to the SCARABEUS test rig where the concept proposed in the project will be tested. The meeting was held at the very nice facilities of TUW’s Science Centre in Franz-Grill-Straße 2-4, A-1030 Wien. […]
A new episode of the webinar series on supercritical Carbon Dioxide technology is here. After Episode 1 -introduction to ongoing sCO2 projects in Europe-, Episode 2 -sCO2 compressor challenges- and Episode 3 -recuperative heat exchangers for sCO2 power systems-, Episode 4 will focus on the so-called primary heat exchanger. Unlike turbomachinery and recuperators, primary […]
The 5th European Conference on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Energy Systems was held in Prague (Czech Republic) on the 15th and 16th of March, 2023. The conference was very well organised by Prof. Dostal (Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic) and Prof. Brillert (Technical University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany). The excellent scientific programme was comprised of […]
The SCARABEUS teams at City, University of London, University of Seville and Baker Hughes have recently published a paper authored jointly by the three institutions. This scientific publication is the result from the collaboration between Work Package 3 – Turbomachinery Design and Work Package 5 – Techno-economic, Social and Environmental Assessments. In particular, the team […]
