Unlocking the Potential of Geothermal and Industrial Waste Heat Utilization
The EMPOWER consortium aims to revolutionize low-temperature energy conversion by developing a new generation of organic Rankine cycle technologies. By adopting innovative cycle architectures based on partial evaporation, we aim to achieve a substantial increase in net power output compared to conventional organic Rankine cycle technology, while simultaneously reducing the system complexity and cost. The key enabler for this breakthrough is the development of efficient two-phase turbines capable of extracting work from the expansion of liquid-gas mixtures. The EMPOWER consortium will adopt a holistic approach to address the multi-dimensional challenges associated with our solution, considering technical, economic, environmental, and social factors.
