Studies on Carbon Dioxide Power Plant : 2nd Report, Experimental Results of Dynamic Characteristics

Abstract

Condensation cycles power generation employing carbon dioxide as a working medium are suitable for large capacity steam and nuclear power stations. In order to make clear the static and the dynamic characteristics of the power plant, a test facility composed of a pump, a regenerator, a heater, a turbine, a blower, and a condenser was constructed and operated. Following the 1st report presenting the static characteristics, the dynamic characteristics of the entire system are presented and the physical meaning of the response is discussed in this report, referring to the theoretical analysis based on a simple lumped-parameter model. As a result, fundamental information useful in planning the control systems of actual CO₂ power plants is obtained.
