A supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system is provided. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system may include a regenerator, a turbine, a heat recoverer, a condenser, a compressor an expansion valve, a flash tank, a heat exchanger, and an ejector, and may utilize waste heat of the supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system.
1. A supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system comprising
a regenerator configured to heat supercritical carbon dioxide;
a turbine driven by the supercritical carbon dioxide heated by the regenerator;
a heat recoverer configured to recover heat of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the turbine and to heat supercritical carbon dioxide that flows into the regenerator;
a condenser configured to cool the supercritical carbon dioxide passing through the heat recoverer;
a compressor configured to pressurize and compress the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser;
an expansion valve configured to expand at least a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser;
a flash tank configured to separate the expanded supercritical carbon dioxide into liquid and gas;
a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the gas and at least a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser, the heat exchanger being placed between the condenser and the compressor; and
an ejector configured to recover the gas passing through the heat exchanger and to move the gas to the condenser.
2. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 1 , wherein the liquid flows into the compressor.
3. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 1 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser has a quality equal to or greater than “0.5”.
4. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 1 further comprising an ejector regenerator configured to recover heat from the regenerator and to heat at least a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the compressor.
5. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 4 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide heated by the ejector regenerator flows into the condenser through the ejector.
6. A supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system comprising
a regenerator configured to heat supercritical carbon dioxide;
a turbine driven by the supercritical carbon dioxide heated by the regenerator;
a heat recoverer configured to recover heat of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the turbine and to heat supercritical carbon dioxide that flows into the regenerator;
a condenser configured to cool the supercritical carbon dioxide passing through the heat recoverer;
a compressor configured to pressurize and compress the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser;
a first expansion valve configured to expand, in a first stage, at least a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser;
a second expansion valve configured to expand, in a second stage, the portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide expanded in the first stage;
a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the supercritical carbon dioxide expanded in the first stage and the supercritical carbon dioxide expanded in the second stage;
a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between at least a portion of the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser and the supercritical carbon dioxide that is expanded in the second stage and that is discharged from the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger being placed between the condenser and the compressor; and
an ejector configured to recover the supercritical carbon dioxide that is expanded in the second stage and that passes through the second heat exchanger, and to move the supercritical carbon dioxide to the condenser.
7. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 6 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide that is expanded in the first stage and that is discharged from the first heat exchanger flows into the compressor.
8. The supercritical carbon dioxide power generation system of claim 6 , wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide discharged from the condenser has a quality less than “0.5”.
