Assess Impact to ARIES-AT Power Cycle to Remove Electrolyzer Heat
Rene Raffray conducted an analysis of latest and highest efficiency power cycle
Scaled results to 4 GWe (net) regime
Cycle efficency impact assessed
Modes of operation
- Nominally 4 GWe operation (no hydrogen)
- Same thermal output with 2 GWe to grid plus 2 GWe and 375 MWt to electrolyzer
