Thermo-economic assessment of small-scale organic Rankine cycle for low-grade industrial waste heat recovery based on an experimental application
This thesis focuses on the use of small-scale Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) to produce electricity from low-grade waste heat recovery of industrial processes. In particular, a thermo-economic (combination of thermodynamic and economic) optimization is conducted to achieve more cost-effective systems...

| Sumario: | This thesis focuses on the use of small-scale Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) to produce electricity from low-grade waste heat recovery of industrial processes. In particular, a thermo-economic (combination of thermodynamic and economic) optimization is conducted to achieve more cost-effective systems and, thus, to contribute to the ORC adoption in practical applications. As a novelty, this investigation is based on an experimental application case, which allows developing a comprehensive model of the system and its subsequent validation from actual data. Thereby, more realistic results are reached, which underline the most relevant topics to pay attention to improve the economic feasibility of new projects. |
