Sustainability 2015, 7 15367 In the present study, the thermodynamic performance of regenerative organic Rankine cycles utilizing low temperature heat sources is simulated to assist in selecting proper organic working fluids. Bristol and thermodynamic models are used to investigate thermodynamic parameters such as output power and efficiency, and the cost rate of the product electricity is determined with exergo-economic analysis. Nine working fluids are considered in order to investigate which yields the greatest output power and exergy efficiency within system constraints. Exergy efficiency and cost rate of electricity are used as objective functions for the system optimization. Each of fluid is examined in order to achieve optimal operating conditions. The degree of superheat and pressure ratio are independent variables in the optimization. 2. System Modeling 2.1. System Description Figure 1 shows the regenerative organic Rankine cycle considered in the analysis. It is comprised of a boiler, expander, regenerator, condenser and pump. In the regenerator heat exchanger, heat is transferred between the high temperature vapor at the expander outlet and the low temperature fluid at the pump outlet in order to avoid energy loss. The reason for this is that, when using an isentropic or dry fluid, the expander exit flow is superheated. Depending on the working fluid and the expander pressure ratio, this temperature is higher than that of the flow exiting the pump. After the working fluid leaves the regenerator, it enters the boiler and absorbs heat from the heat source. The working-fluid phase varies from a sub-cooled liquid to a saturated or superheated vapor. Then the saturated or superheated vapor passes through the expander linked to an electric generator, which converts the energy of vapor to electrical energy. The working fluid exiting the regenerator enters the condenser where heat is rejected to environment. The working fluid condenses and heat is rejected to a heat sink. Figure 1. Diagram of regenerative organic Rankine cycle.
