Advanced Brayton-Based power cycles are used in industry for upgrading power generation. In this project, I analyzed and simulated the steady-state performance of an advanced cold-air standard Brayton power generation cycle integrated with intercool, reheat, and regeneration based on SSSF design conditions. The effects of varying operating conditions of pressure ratios, isentropic efficiencies, and regenerator effectiveness on the performance of the cycle was simulated in detail and studied.
