Introduces the concept of combined cycles for next generation
nuclear power plants, explaining how recent advances in gas
turbines have made these systems increasingly desirable for
efficiency gains and cost-of-ownership reduction. Promulgates
modelling and analysis techniques to identify opportunities for
increased thermodynamic efficiency and decreased water usage over
current Light Water Reactor (LWR) systems. Examines all power
conversion aspects, from the fluid exiting the reactor to energy
releases into the environment, with special focus on heat
exchangers and turbo-machinery. Provides examples of small projects
to facilitate nuanced understanding of the theories and
implementation of combined-cycle nuclear plants. This book explores
combined cycle driven efficiency of new nuclear power plants and
describes how to model and analyze a nuclear heated multi-turbine
power conversion system operating with atmospheric air as the
working fluid. The included studies are intended to identify paths
for future work on next generation nuclear power plants (GEN-IV),
leveraging advances in natural-gas-fired turbines that enable
coupling salt-cooled, helium-cooled, and sodium-cooled reactors to
a Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycle (NACC). These reactors provide
the option of operating base-load nuclear plants with variable
electricity output to the grid using natural gas or stored heat to
produce peak power. The author describes overall system
architecture, components and detailed modelling results of
Brayton-Rankine Combined Cycle power conversion systems and
Recuperated Brayton Cycle systems, since they offer the highest
overall energy conversion efficiencies. With ever-higher
temperatures predicted in GEN-IV plants, this book's investigation
of potential avenues for thermodynamic efficiency gains will be of
great interest to nuclear engineers and researchers, as well as
power plant operators and students.
