METHOD OF CARRYING OUT TRANSCRITICAL ENERGY CYCLE ON CARBON DIOXIDE Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC F01K7/32 F01K25/10 F01K13/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering and is intended for centralized generation of electricity, heat and cold at thermal power plants producing mainly constant electric power, for example, at nuclear power plants. In accordance with the method, heat is removed from the energy CO₂-cycle with transcritical parameters to the heat carrier by means of artificial cooling performed by means of a reverse thermodynamic cycle, part of the processes of which is an integral part of the said cycle. Heat carrier is supplied to heat consumers in accordance with their current needs, and heated heat carrier, which is not required for current consumption, is transferred for accumulation.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to simplify combined production of electric power, heat and cold, it is useful to use heat supplied to the cycle, as well as to increase thermal efficiency and energy efficiency due to this; besides, the method allows to generate cold with the help of equipment intended for generation of electric energy and heat, which ensures saving of electric energy in cold supply.
