Micro-Organic Rankine Cycle systems for domestic cogeneration: nearly Zero Energy and Plus Energy Buildings
Nearly Zero Energy Buildings require the efficient employing and storage of renewable sources. The possibility to use heat from biomass or solar thermal to produce electricity for electrical loads makes ORC technology performing at best in these contests. In particular the integration of ORChidea platform models with a biomass boiler and/or a thermal solar field, is one of the more interesting and innovative solutions for nNZEB buildings (acronym for near Zero Energy Building), i.e. buildings with very high energy performance, whose energy needs are very low or almost zero or even more so for PlusEnergy buildings, i.e. buildings that ensure a positive energy balance, or produce more energy of the necessary requirements. Some models of the platform can function as a reversible heat pump allowing to cover the thermal and electrical loads of the building for the whole period of the year. In cities, if the roof of the buildings is not sufficient for solar collection, it is possible to use facade panels. KAYMACOR has developed innovative facade panels to be used in combination with ORChidea: these are Giotto panels.
Plant scheme
This scheme shows how ORChidea can fulfill nZEB requirements. Thermal loads are covered all over the year using a particular model of ORChidea platform, the HPR model. Using it heat load can be provided directly by thermal solar field od by ORChidea working in a reversible heat pump mode. During summer ORChidea works in ORC mode providing electricity to the cooling chillers.
