Title:
VARIABLE PRESSURE INVENTORY CONTROL OF CLOSED CYCLE SYSTEM WITH A HIGH PRESSURE TANK AND AN INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE TANK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/125511
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for variable pressure inventory control of a closed thermodynamic cycle power generation system or energy storage system, such as a reversible Brayton cycle system, with at least a high pressure tank and an intermediate pressure tank are disclosed. Operational parameters of the system such as working fluid pressure, turbine torque, turbine RPM, generator torque, generator RPM, and current, voltage, phase, frequency, and/or quantity of electrical power generated and/or distributed by the generator may be the basis for controlling a quantity of working fluid that circulates through a closed cycle fluid path of the system.
