Organic Rankine cycle as bottoming cycle to a combined Brayton and Clausius - Rankine cycle
PublicationA preliminary evaluation has been made of a possibility of bottoming of a conventional Brayton cycle cooperating with the CHP power plant with the organic Rankine cycle installation. Such solution contributes to the possibility of annual operation of that power plant, except of operation only in periods when there is a demand for the heat. Additional benefit would be the fact that an optimized backpressure steam cycle has the advantage...

Organic Rankine as bottoming cycle to a combined Brayton and Clausius-Rankine cycle
PublicationThis paper presents an enhanced approach, as it will be considered here that the ORC installation could be extra-heated with the bleed steam, a concept presented by the authors. In such way the efficiency of the bottoming cycle can be increased and an amount of electricity generated increases. A thermodynamic analysis and a comparative study of the cycle efficiency for a simplified steam cycle cooperating with ORC cycle will be...

Application of Organic Rankine Cycle as bottoming cycle to conventional heat and power plant
PublicationW pracy rozważono możliwość zastosowania układu ORC w skojarzeniu z ciepłownią lub elektrociepłownią celem podniesienia stopnia wykorzystania jednostki CHP podczas eksploatacji w skali roku. Połączenie układu ORC z zawodową jednostką CHP może wpłynąć na wzrost rocznej produkcji energii elektrycznej i jednoczsne zmniejszenie fluktuacji podczas pracy bloku energetycznego. Z jednej strony następuje konwersja energii cieplnej na elektryczną...

Comparative study of a bottoming SRC and ORC for Joule–Brayton cycle cooling modular HTR exergy losses, fluid-flow machinery main dimensions, and partial loads
PublicationEnergy conversion efficiency increase in power plants with high-temperature gas-cooled reactors via implementation of the bottoming cycle was investigated under nominal and minimal thermal load of a high-temperature reactor (HTR). Heat transfer surface area and turbine outlet volumetric flow rate in bottoming cycles was also investigated. Water and two low-boiling point working fluids (ammonia and ethanol) were analyzed. Analyzed...
