Abstract
Gas turbine, steam turbine and/or process steam systems are combined with supercritical carbon dioxide cycle engines to produce major improvements in net plant efficiency by using the heat inputs and outputs of the supercritical CO.sub.2 cycle to supply or remove heat in advantageous ways to the gas turbine, steam turbine and/or process steam systems.
