Abstract
A heat engine system and a method for generating electrical energy from the heat engine system are provided. The method includes circulating via a turbo pump a working fluid within a working fluid circuit of the heat engine system. The method also includes transferring thermal energy from a heat source stream to the working fluid by at least a primary heat exchanger, feeding the working fluid into a power turbine and converting the thermal energy from the working fluid to mechanical energy, and converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy by a generator coupled to the power turbine. At least one valve operatively coupled to a control system is modulated in order to synchronize the generator with an electrical grid. A generator breaker is closed such that the generator and electrical grid are electrically coupled and the electrical energy is supplied to the electrical grid.
