Combined cycle power plants take heat at 2000°C using a combination of gas and steam turbines. Their conversion efficiency to electric power is 52%, see Wikipedia. This is proven technology, at least 30 years old, and quite a few of those exist out there. Steam turbines alone can be operated at higher temperatures by using mercury instead of water. Some plants using this approach were built in the 1920/30s. |
