Toward a Green Energy Community: Integration of micro-ORCs combined with renewable energy technologies in buildings

Distributed microgeneration is an alternative for aggregate energy integration into the electricity grid. Low-temperature heat recovery systems, such as ORCs, are particularly interesting given their compactness and safety for application in the residential sector, operating at moderate pressures and low heat source temperatures. Energy surpluses generated by renewable technologies commonly used in the building sector, such as photovoltaics or micro-wind, can be
