Concentrated Solar Power systems
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is suitable for converting the thermal energy collected by solar panels into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle with a high level of efficiency.Â
Using the ORC in a solar thermal application is a cost efficient solution for clients. An ORC for Concentrated Solar Power application can reduce the cost of the reflectors used by allowing for a Fresnel or parabolic trough and leading to lower overall system cost.
TAPPING THE POWER OF THE SUN
Exergy is unique in offering the highly efficient Radial Outflow Turbine for these applications. The Exergy solution for solar power generation uses the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) coupled with a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system. This solution has many advantages, including:
1
HIGHER FLEXIBILITY THAN TRADITIONAL STEAM RANKINE CYCLES
2
THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY FROM A LOWER TEMPERATURE HEAT SOURCE
3
THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING A SMALL INSTALLATION (<1MWE) WITH THE OPTION TO SCALE UP IN THE FUTURE
4
LOWER SET-UP COSTS FOR THE ORC AND SOLAR PANELS
4
LOWER SET-UP COSTS FOR THE ORC AND SOLAR PANELS
5
SIMPLE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
6
REMOTE CONTROL OF THE ORC UNIT
7
A STRAIGHTFORWARD AUTHORIZATION AND PERMISSION PROCESS
