This research discusses a strategic methodology for implementing a disruptive Self-Sustaining Power Plant (SSPP) characterized by the cascading coupling of a group of Power Units (PUs). In this configuration, the heat released from each PU due to the cooling of the thermal working fluid (TWF) is efficiently recovered and reused as supply heat for the first PU in the cascade. Two case studies on the SSPP have been conducted using air and helium as TWFs. The first deals with PUs coupled in cascade operating with closed processes-based Vsp thermal cycles, while the second involves PUs coupled in cascade operating with closed processes-based VsVs thermal cycles. Following the corresponding analysis of both case studies, significant results were obtained. These results, derived from this preliminary design study, will be applied to the implementation of the disruptive SSPP prototype operating with real gases as working fluids. This allows for a precise and clear understanding of the issue of generating useful work through expansion, contraction, or both. Moreover, according to the results, the SSPP composed by a group of power units where the efficiency of each power unit operating with air as working fluid only approaches a value of the efficiency of 22%, can exceed 100% of the nominal design power under certain conditions, which supposes a flagrant violation of the principle of conservation of energy due to the fact that such disruptive Self-Sustaining Power Plant is enabled to overcome a Perpetual Motion Machine of second kind.
