Abstract :
A system study of a combined cycle MHD-steam thermal power plant electrical station with zero stack emission through recirculation of CO 2, is presented. The design of the MHD generator of the topper is done by means of a quasi-one dimensional optimization model. The technology of the components is conventional. An overall efficiency larger than 40% for power plants with thermal power inputs above 1000 MWth, is obtained
