Because so much energy is lost turning steam back into water in the Rankine cycle, at most a third of the power in the steam can be converted into electricity. The compressor gets the supercritical CO 2 up to the necessary pressure before it meets up with waste heat in the recuperator and returns to the heater to continue the cycle.
