Compared to the conventional Rankine cycle using water, the ORC can
create efficient expansion at low power, avoid superheater and
offer higher thermal efficiency in low temperature application.
Small-scale ORCs from several kWe to a few hundred kWe offer great
potential for meeting the residential demand on heat and power, and
are of growing interest in scientific and technical fields.
However, one critical problem is the decreased device efficiency
and cost-effectiveness that arises when the ORC is scaled down. In
this thesis, the ORC is combined with low concentration-ratio solar
collectors. The background, research trend, merits and importance
of the solar ORC are described. To reduce the thermodynamic
irreversibility and the cost of the system, three innovative
solutions are proposed: solar ORC without heat transfer fluid
(HTF), which employs two-stage collectors and heat storage units;
hybrid solar power generation based on ORC and amorphous silicon
cells; osmosis-driven solar ORC. Heat collection, storage and power
conversion are optimized. The design, construction and test of a
prototype are conducted, demonstrating the feasibility of the ORC
for small-scale cogeneration. Special attention is paid to the
variable operation and parameter design with respect to the
condensation temperature.
