In this paper,to further improve thermodynamic performance of supercritical carbon dioxide cycle,simple/recompression transcritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle(STBC/RTBC)and simple/recompression transcritical carbon dioxide Rankine cycle(STRC/RTRC)are proposed.Thermal and exergy performance analysis and optimization for the above four transcritical CO_(2)cycles and simple/recompression supercritical cycle(SSBC/RSBC)are conducted.The effect of key thermodynamic parameters on those CO_(2)cycle performance is studied.Results indicate that the improvements of thermodynamic performance of CO_(2)cycle are obvious when transcritical Brayton and Rankine cycle are applied in it.Within the same range of optimization variables,the maximum thermal efficiency improvements of RTRC and RTBC are 4.98%and 3.6%,and maximum exergy efficiency improvements of RTRC and RTBC are 7.08%and 5.13%when compared with RSBC.Moreover,the thermodynamic performances of STBC and STRC are also outstanding than that of SSBC.This work provides a way to further improve the thermodynamic performance of CO_(2)power cycle.
