ORComp
Functional Description: The ORComp platform is a simulation tool permitting to design an ORC cycle. Starting from the solar radiation, this plateform computes the cycle providing the best performance with optimal choices of the fluid and the operating conditions. It includes RobUQ , a simulation block of the ORC cycles, the RealfluiDS code for the simulation of the turbine and of the heat exchanger, the software FluidProp (developed at the University of Delft) for computing the fluid thermodynamic properties.
