Low-Temperature ORC Systems: Influence of the Approach Point and Pinch Point Temperature Differences

The International Energy Agency states that geothermal energy technologies could meet 15% of the global electricity demand growth, provided cost reductions continue. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are expected to play a key role in achieving this ambitious target. Recognized for their effective...
