Electricity Generation from Low Temperature Sources
Power plants using conventional processes and unconventional fluids have a significant potential for the valorization of low and medium temperature renewable energy sources as well as waste heat from industrial, commercial or institutional installations. This review paper describes some prototypes...

| description | Power plants using conventional processes and unconventional fluids have a significant potential for the valorization of
low and medium temperature renewable energy sources as well as waste heat from industrial, commercial or
institutional installations. This review paper describes some prototypes of such power plants and summarizes some of
the relevant scientific and technical literature. An analysis based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and
basic heat transfer relations is used to illustrate the operational limits and performance characteristics of these power
plants. |
