Conference Article: Investigation of GT-ST combined cycle in HTR-10 reactor

Abstract

In the Chinese HTR-10 project, two phases of the high temperature heat utilization are planned. During the second phase, the reactor core outlet temperature is increased up to 950 deg. C and a GT-ST combined cycle is planned to be constructed. This paper presents the investigation results of GT-ST combined cycle in INET. Two patterns of GT-ST cycles, i.e. a parallel GT-ST cycle and a series GT-ST cycle, are referred. Based on the state-of-the-art technology, the current activities of HTR-10 GT-ST combined cycle focus on a parallel combined cycle in which GT and ST cycle are independently parallel in the secondary side.
