Comparative Analysis of Small-Scale Organic Rankine Cycle Systems for Solar Energy Utilisation

Small-scale organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems driven by solar energy are compared in this paper, which aims to explore the potential of power generation for domestic utilisation. A solar thermal collector was used as the heat source for a hot water storage tank. Thermal performance was then evalua...
