Distributed Power System Could Produce Cleaner, Cheaper Electricity

Caption

Sandia National Laboratories principal investigator Darryn Fleming is surrounded by the workings of the labs' 1 megawatt thermal supercritical carbon dioxide recompression closed Brayton cycle test loop. "High temperature and pressure testing with supercritical CO2 is complex and testing is expensive and high risk," Fleming said. "We're set up to do multiple large-scale demonstrations that use high temperature and high pressure."
