Abstract

In the paper a brief review of processes for energy conversion developed recently within the framework of clean gas technologies is presented, including projects for future repowering of Pomerania. The main aim of this work is to show the different thermodynamic cycles which improve efficiency and/or decrease emissions such as: Cheng cycle, Szewalski cycle, LOTHECO cycle, hybrid pSOFC/GT cycle, inverse Brayton cycle, low-emission cycle and zero-emission cycle. For that purpose, cycles and results of analysis are first studied and, secondly, new concept is presented. The role of coupled analysis 0D and 3D in cycle’s devices is also discussed.
