Abstract:
The current paper presents the operation analysis of a small size ORC system fired with wood residuals. The system consists of two ORC units of a nominal electric power of 125 kW each, and the available heat is used for the supply of a small district heating network. The results of the field monitoring over almost two years provide information about the system behaviour under different conditions, providing the possibility to correlate different parameters. Field tests are essential in order to underline some aspects that are usually not taken into account during the design process and the system simulations (e.g. failures, variable environmental conditions, variable fuel properties, etc...).
