ORC is the usual choice and is mature technology for low temperature heat energy conversion to electricity to improve energy efficiency (Zhang et al., 2018). It has been extensively investigated and commercially implemented in various industrial and domestic applications (Lecompte et al., 2017).
However, literature review has shown that existing studies are usually focused on only one energy source for an ORC system, either waste heat or renewable energy sources (Gomaa et al., 2020), such as solar, geothermal, biomass and heat from heat pumps.
Various solar energy technologies capable of powering ORC are investigated, including flat plate collectors, vacuum tube collectors, compound parabolic collectors, and parabolic trough collectors. The review places significant emphasis on the operating parameters of technology. Content may be subject to copyright.
In this study, an integrated design of hybrid ORC system is investigated that combines three heat sources, waste heat from aluminum smelter's flue gas, solar and geothermal energy, which provides insight into the development of renewable and sustainable energy systems and shows the good applicability of ORC using multiple heat sources.
In 2022, China''s energy consumption reached 5.41 billion tons of standard coal, with fossil fuels accounting for 82.5 % [1] and producing approximately 12.1 billion tons of CO 2 emissions [2]. Solar energy,
