Abstract

Heat generated from the combustion of biomass can be used as an energy source in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC). In this paper, a thermal model of an integrated biomass-fired regenerative ORC system is formed. To model the heat exchangers, a discretization scheme is used that includes the phase change within a segment. Energy balances are applied to the turbine and the pump. The ORC model developed for is validated with experimental data of an existing ORC system. Then, the effect of biomass type on the performance of the system (i.e. the net power output and the thermal efficiency) is investigated.
