Power cycles: schemes, models, analysis

Leader POLITO (Involved TTZ, ATR, ZAR, USE,BIO, CERTH) This deliverable includes: i) Schemes of analyzed power cycles. Ii) Description for each power cycle which includes main streams and power balance, which specially focuses in operation conditions. iii) For each power cycle, off-design and on-design conditions are refelected at system level. iv) Characteristics of the CSP sources are introduced, taken the integration into the whole system into account. v) power-cycles simulatations under different nominal operating conditions while considering different fluids, including analysis of the on-design expected performance of the cycles and theidentification of viable and technocally feasible operating conditions. vi) Results of the investigation in different design configurations (for example several expanders connected in parallel or in series, the integration of a recuperator, etc.) and conclusions (selection of those ones that are most favourable in therms of energy performance). vii) A more detailed a
