This presentation will discuss the results of the feasibility analysis of a Brayton cycle-based, supercritical CO2 system that recovers waste heat from an MT30 gas turbine used in marine applications. The analysis also included the use of thermoelectric generator (TEG) devices that are one of several direct energy conversion methods known to be applicable to waste heat recovery. The analysis was conducted by Concepts NREC, in collaboration with the Maine Maritime Academy and their principal consultant, Thermoelectric Power Systems, LLC. The feasibility analysis was conducted under Navy SBIR Proposal Number N103-229-0533, entitled “Gas Turbine Engine Exhaust Waste Heat Recovery Shipboard Module Development”. The objective of the project was to improve the energy efficiency of the MT30 prime-mover power system for the Navy and other commercial vessels. The performance goal for the energy recovery system was to improve the fuel economy of the prime mover by 20% when significantly part-loaded.

Supercritical CO2 power cycles have been deeply investigated in recent years. However, their potential in waste heat recovery is still largely unexplored. This paper presents a critical review of engineering background, technical challenges, and current advances of the s-CO2 cycle for waste heat recovery. Firstly, common barriers for the further promotion of waste heat recovery technology are discussed. Afterwards, the technical advantages of the s-CO2 cycle in solving the abovementioned problems are outlined by comparing several state-of-the-art thermodynamic cycles. On this basis, current research results in this field are reviewed for three main applications, namely the fuel cell, internal combustion engine, and gas turbine. For low temperature applications, the transcritical CO2 cycles can compete with other existing technologies, while supercritical CO2 cycles are more attractive for medium- and high temperature sources to replace steam Rankine cycles. Moreover, simple and regenerative configurations are more suitable for transcritical cycles, whereas various complex configurations have advantages for medium- and high temperature heat sources to form cogeneration system. Finally, from the viewpoints of in-depth research and engineering applications, several future development directions are put forward. This review hopes to promote the development of s-CO2 cycles for waste heat recovery.
