LR Grants AIP for S-CO2 Power Generation System
The world’s largest shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and a utility firm Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) have received an Approval in Principle (AIP) from Lloyd’s Register for a 2MW Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Power Generation System recovering waste heat of a diesel/gas engine. S-CO2 is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held above its critical pressure and critical temperature which causes the supercritical state to go beyond liquid or gas into a phase where it acts as both. The S-CO2 system runs generators by utilizing the CO2 as a working fluid for power generation. Since S-CO2 is denser than the working fluids in gas turbines and steam turbines…
