Synthesis of transcritical ORC-integrated heat exchanger networks for waste heat recovery

Thermodynamic and technoeconomic optimization of Organic Rankine Cycle systems

“…Synthesis optimization aims at directly optimizing the plant configuration (Biegler et al, 1997;Chen et al, 2015). This exhaustive approach is the strategy commonly used in most of the publications but in some papers other methodologies are proposed, even if not directly applied to the ORC field.…”
