Conclusions This study presents a procedure to calculate ORC effi- ciency with sufficient accuracy based on the DIPPR data- base and the Peng–Robinson–EOS. This method is used to find thermodynamic suitable fluids for ORC in biomass power plants. In comparison to most other ORC applica- tions, the pinch point at the start of vaporization can be avoided by an adapted plant design. Efficiency correlates with a low minimum temperature, high vaporization tem- perature and a high amount of vaporization enthalpy to input enthalpy. If these parameters are optimal, low maxi- mum and minimum process pressure leads to a slight improvement of efficiency. For biomass plants operating with a maximum process temperature of 573 K, a maxi- mum pressure between 0.9 and 1.5 MPa is best. The family of alkylbenzenes shows highest efficiencies. A biomass ORC can be improved by raising maximum temperature. If the maximum temperature could be shifted from 573 K to 623 K, efficiency would gain about 2.5% points. Other optimization strategies like air preheating may improve the power to heat ratio, a fact entailing higher profitability. To evaluate such options, investigations con- cerning complete system analysis are necessary, including energy evaluation, detailed pinch point analysis, coupled cooling processes etc. The overall objective, a cost efficient and sustainable energy supply is an incentive for further research work in this field.
