Chapter 7: Conclusions The component models illustrate the main interactions in an ORC cycle and thus the main available control variables/degrees of freedom. They are used to size, evaluate the performance and simulate ORC systems. They are also useful to compare working fluids and optimize the thermodynamic conditions. In this work, special attention has been paid to the optimization of the cycle design and of the operating conditions. This optimization can be conducted with different objective functions (e.g. economic profitability, thermodynamic efficiency), or by taking into account practical limitations on the component side, such as the volume ratio imposed to the expander or the component size. Two prospective studies have finally been proposed to illustrate the utility of the developed model and of the practical guidelines provided in this work. The first one is a small-scale low cost solar ORC to be installed in rural area of developing countries. Using the performance data of the experimental campaigns, it was shown, with conservative hypotheses, that an overall solar- to-electricity efficiency of 8% is reachable. The second prospective study aimed at addressing the issue of heat recovery with variable heat sources. At the present time, there is indeed no commercially-available ORC system optimized for transient heat recovery. A control strategy involving a limited number of sensors has been proposed and successfully compared to current state-of-the-art control strategies. The developments presented in this work open a whole area of further research. The models and methods can be adapted to alternative ORC configurations or advanced cycle designs, such as: ➢ Transcritical or supercritical cycles ➢ ORCs using zeotropic substances ➢ Two-phase expansion cycles ➢ Multiple evaporation pressure cycles ➢ Superposed cycles The models themselves could be further refined: ➢ The influence of the lubrication on the expander and on the heat exchanger should be integrated into the steady-state models ➢ The turbine model and boundaries should be refined ➢ The operating maps should be extended to more expansion machines and working fluids ➢ The dynamic models should be validated in transient conditions In the same order of idea, the optimal control strategies developed for the particular case of a waste heat recovery system could be further improved, validated and proof-tested on other applications, such as a highly transient solar ORC (i.e. without storage). 2
