Supercritical Transformational Electric Power Step Pilot Plant In doe project de fe0028979, gas technology institute, with partners swri and general electric, is designing and building the 10 mwe pilot plant at the swri site in san antonio, tx. In october 2018, southwest research broke ground on a supercritical transformational electric power (step) pilot plant to demonstrate supercritical carbon dioxide (sco2) technology.
Supercritical Transformational Electric Power Pilot Plant Southwest A step closer to transformational electric power the 10 megawatt (mwe) supercritical transformational electric power (step) demo pilot plant in san antonio, texas, has successfully completed phase 1 testing, demonstrating operability, efficiency, and commercial readiness of the supercritical carbon dioxide (sco 2) power cycle in a simple. Supercritical transformational electric power (step) demo project $165.6m project to design, construct, commission, and operate a 10 mwe sco2 demonstration power plant. In a major breakthrough, the 10 mw step demo plant in san antonio completed phase 1 testing, proving the commercial readiness of its next gen sco₂ brayton cycle. The step mission is to reduce the technical barriers and risks to the commercialization of the sco 2 power cycle. the program aims to work with industry to develop and mature the technology at the pilot scale in order to facilitate commercialization.

The step mission is to reduce the technical barriers and risks to the commercialization of the sco 2 power cycle. the program aims to work with industry to develop and mature the technology at the pilot scale in order to facilitate commercialization. A 10 mwe sco 2 turbine was developed and tested for the supercritical transformational electric power (step) demo pilot plant, which is a supercritical carbon dioxide (sco 2) test facility located at southwest research institute (swri) in san antonio. The 10 mwe supercritical transformational electric power (step) demo pilot plant has completed its first phase of testing and has achieved full operational speed of 27,000 rpm at a target turbine inlet temperature of 500°c in the simple recuperated cycle (sc) configuration. Fe and its individual programs are developing sco 2 cycle components. the objective is to design, build, and operate a 10 mwe pilot plant: the supercritical transformational electric power (step) test facility. Step demo is a unique facility designed to demonstrate high temperature sco2 power generation, which increases efficiency by as much as 10% due to its favourable thermodynamic properties.
