Abstract

The control of the main cycle parameters in supercritical CO2 (sCO(2)) systems during off-design and transient operation is crucial for advancing their technological readiness level. In smaller scale power units (<0.5-5 MW), costs and complexity constraints limit the number of auxiliary components in the power loop, making the design of the control system even more challenging. Among the possible strategies, the regulation of system inventory, which consists in varying the CO2 fluid mass in the power loop to achieve a given control target, represents a promising alternative. Such technique however poses several technical challenges that are still to be fully understood. To fill this gap, this work presents a comprehensive steady-state and transient analysis of inventory control systems, referring in particular to a 50 kW sCO(2) test facility being commissioned at Brunel University. Stability implications (e.g. pressure gradients in the loop) and the effects of variable inventory tank size are discussed. Tank volumes 3 times higher than the one of the power loop (including the receiver) can lead to a higher controllability range (+/- 30% of the nominal turbine inlet temperature) and an extended availability of the control action (slower tank discharge). A PI controller is also designed to regulate the turbine inlet temperature around the target of 465 degrees C in response to waste heat variations.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
