A novel gas switching combustion reactor for power production with integrated CO2 capture: Sensitivity to the fuel and oxygen carrier types

Thermodynamically, the influence of four different oxygen carrier materials on the temperature variation across the GSC cycle has been determined. Minimization of the temperature variation across the cycle is important in order to maximize the electric efficiency of the process and prevent turbine wear. The temperature variation across the four oxygen carriers and two fuel types investigated varied by a factor of 5 and specific recommendations were given to keep this variation to a minimum.
