Heat balance of selected Brayton cycle

The dataset provides the heat balance of the selected Brayton cycle among the 10 cycles considered. Simulations of several cases defined by a different supercritical CO2 cycle type were performed with Ebsilon software in order to assess the net power block efficiency of the cycle and the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of the plant. Due to its highest efficiency among the 10 envisaged Brayton cycle options, it is the Partial Cooling with Intercooling and Reheating cycle that is selected. The datasets could help other people design a sCO2 Brayton cycle.

Heliostat field positions after optimization with DLR’s software HFLCAL

The dataset provides the design of the heliostat field layout, in terms of number and positions. The filed layout is optimized by minimizing the estimated LCOE of the system, using the DLR tool Visual HFLCAL software

The datasets could help other people design a heliostat field.

Heliostat and receiver efficiency calculated with DLR’s software HFLCAL

The heliostat field and the receiver design efficiency was estimated for the design point by optimizing for lowest LCOE.

The datasets could help other people design a heliostat field.
