Abstract: Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a more efficient way to recover exhaust heat from medium- and small-scale gas turbines than conventional steam power cycles. Plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHEs) were applied as the evaporator ...

Abstract: Increasing interest is being paid to the exploitation of wind power to supply stable electricity for the microgrid. The microgrid system coupled with wind turbines is available to generate power for local residents, ...

Abstract: Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) has been examined as an effective way to recovery waste heat from industrial manufacture. The effects of internal heat exchanger (IHE) and superheat degree on the thermoeconomic performance of ...

Abstract: Due to the intermittence and fluctuation of wind resource, the integration of large wind farms in a power grid always brings challenges to maintain the stability of a power system. Integrating ...

Abstract: This study investigated the feasibility of a combined cycle comprising a topping SCO2 cycle and a bottoming TCO2 cycle (SCO2-TCO2 cycle). A simple SCO2 cycle and a recompression SCO2 cycle were considered as the topping ...

Abstract: This paper proposed a gas turbine and organic Rankine cycle (GT-ORC) combined cycle to further improve the energy efficiency of gas turbines. Alkanes, linear siloxanes, and aromatics were selected as working fluids for the ...

Abstract: This study investigated the feasibility of a combined cycle comprising a topping

Abstract: In this paper, the performance of the regenerative organic rankine cycle (ORC) working with R123 is experimentally analyzed at different heat source temperatures of approximately 85, 95, 110, and 130°C. The higher heat ...

Abstract: The transcritical CO2 (TCO2) Rankine cycle has been receiving more and more attention for the lower irreversible losses and the excellent thermophysical characters of CO2. However, it is hard to condense CO2 to liquid due ...
