TL;DR: In this article, the use of supercritical and transcritical carbon dioxide cycles for this application is proposed, and three different cycles are considered, the first two are stand-alone closed cycle gas turbines using carbon dioxide, the third proposal is a combined cycle that comprises a topping carbon dioxide gas turbine and a bottoming Organic Rankine Cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the rated and part-load performances of combined cycles formed by a topping gas turbine and a bottoming ORC are analyzed, where five commercial gas turbines are used in combination with an ORC bottoming cycle in lieu of a conventional steam cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a novel proposal for complex hybrid systems comprising high temperature fuel cells and thermal engines, which is composed by a molten carbonate fuel cell with cascaded hot air turbine and ORC, a layout that is based on subsequent waste heat recovery for additional power production.

TL;DR: It is concluded that an appropriate set of specifications must be developed for each bottoming cycle as the performances of compressor, turbine and recuperator differ significantly from one working fluid to another.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of using different fuels of the referred type on the performance of a gas and steam combined cycle performance are assessed and some general rules with regard to the necessary modifications that need to be implemented in standard plants are provided.
