Abstract: Considering the increasing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) power system has attracted more and more attention. Due to the expensive computation resource and time cost, data-based solutions for performance prediction are urged. The surrogate model by machine learning is a promising alternative, but it only focuses on the objective functions and ignores the importance of topological structures and physical states of cycles. Aiming at providing a comprehensive model to predict physical states as well as thermodynamic characteristics, a deep learning method based on graph neural network (GNN) are devised in this paper. With the modeling calculation results as training dataset, a well-trained model can accurately reconstruct the physical states consisting of temperature, pressure, enthalpy, entropy (relative error of most samples <5 %) and exergy as well as thermal and exergy efficiency (relative error of most samples <5 %). Moreover, this model shows superior performance compared with traditional machine learning models including Regression Tree, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). Finally, the comparison between different training sizes demonstrate the model can help reduce sampling costs for complex systems. Overall, the presented deep learning model can provide a reliable and competitive choice for the digital twin of S-CO2 power system and other power systems.
