摘 要:The organic Rankine cycle(ORC)coupled with a linear Fresnel reflector(LFR)utilizes a low-grade heat *** article presents the study of a small-scale LFR-ORC power-generation plant under the climatic conditions of Almatret,*** mathematical modelling is performed using thermodynamic equations and simulations are conducted to evaluate the optical performance of the LFR system and thermal performance of the ORC ***-62 is used as a heat-transfer fluid(HTF)in the solar field,whereas NOVEC^(TM) 649 is used as the working fluid in the ORC power *** LFR is integrated with a thermal-storage unit based on a two-tank system and stores the solar thermal energy via a heat *** thermal-energy output of the receiver tube of the LFR system is 108 kW and thermal losses are 7.872 kW during the peak time operation of a day at 1:00 *** mechanical power output of the ORC turbine is 7.296 kW using the specific design conditions and the two-tank thermal-storage system adds 4 operation hours to the power plant after sunset.
