Beskrivning

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power systems are increasingly of interest for cost-effective sustainable energy generation, with applications such as cogeneration from biomass, electricity generation from geothermal reservoirs and concentrating solar power installations, waste heat recovery, internal combustion engines and medium- and low-temperature industrial processes. With thousands of ORC power systems already in operation and the market growing at a fast pace, this is an active and engaging area of scientific research and technical development.

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Power Systems: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition, provides a complete overview of ORC technology, including fundamentals, numerical modelling, plant technology, and applications.

The book begins by introducing ORC power systems and their modelling, before a section focusing on ORC plant components, and finally in-depth chapters highlighting specific fields of application.

This new edition is fully revised and updated to include new chapters on ORC market development, automotive on-board waste heat recovery, energy storage with ORC, and other applications such as ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and solar pond technology.

This is an essential resource for all those looking to increase their understanding of ORC power systems, including students, researchers, faculty, R&D professionals, engineers, managers, and policy makers.

Offers thorough coverage of ORC power systems, modelling, optimization, and plant components
Examines a range of sustainable applications, including geothermal, biomass, solar thermal, waste heat recovery, and more
Fully revised and expanded to include market information and the latest technological developments

Mer om författaren

Ennio Macchi is Emeritus Professor at Politecnico di Milano. He has been full professor of “Energy Conversion at Politecnico for over 30 years and was the first Director of the Energy Department of Politecnico. He was the founder and the scientific coordinator of the internationally recognized Research Group “GECoS of the Politecnico di Milano. In the ‘70s, together with his colleagues Prof. Angelino and Prof. Gaia, he initiated the successful Italian activity on ORC. He is the author of more than 200 papers and books on various energy topics and consultant of several Companies, including ORC manufacturers. Dr Marco Astolfi is an Assistant Professor in the Energy Department of Politecnico di Milano and he is lecturer of Energy Conversion. His studies are focused on the design and the techno-economic optimization of ORC cycles in particular for exploitation of low temperature geothermal sources and solar energy in CSP plants. Besides this topic he is currently working on the design of stand-alone microgrid for rural electrification with a high penetration of renewable energy sources and salinity gradient technologies for energy production.
