The environmental awareness and sustainability concerns have reached an unprecedented
level of importance that is leading to, among other things, constant improvements in the …

The purpose of this work is to experimentally evaluate the effect on fuel efficiency of a small
scale organic Rankine cycle (ORC) as a waste heat recovery system (WHRS) in a heavy …

Abstract Low power Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines are typically characterised by
flow efficiencies much smaller than those of large power steam or gas turbines. The paper …

The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions has spurred significant interest in
cogeneration technologies. This study introduces a novel integrated organic Rankine cycle …

The paper describes the method of CFD based Nelder-Mead optimization of a 10 kW single-
stage axial turbine operating in an ORC system working on R7100. The total-to-static …

Micro-cogeneration technologies currently available on the market are too expensive and
requiring noble and expensive fuels. Also increasing renewables' shares should favour …

In this paper we present an effort to design and apply a multi-objective real-time operation
controller to a combined heat and power (CHP) system, while considering explicitly the risk …

An important issue during the design of turbine seal areas is the selection of a suitable
structural solution. The article presents a short review of different types of seals already in …

This paper provides an insight into the early commercial development and pilot operation of
a 50 kW thermal and 2 kW electrical output biomass-fired microcogeneration (μCHP) ORC …

The ORC technology is subject to manifold sources of uncertainty that can have a severe
impact on the thermodynamic and economic efficiency of plant components, particularly …
