SELECTION OF SUITABLE WORKING FLUID AND STORAGE MATERIAL FOR ORC COUPLED WITH THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE

Some low-temperature energy sources (e.g., waste or solar heat) tend to be intermittent, and the heat supply from such sources may fluctuate over time. This kind of heat could be utilized using organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to generate electricity. Moreover, the increase in their reliability may be possible thanks to the application of thermal energy storage (TES), in which surplus thermal energy
