Project description
The project deals with the development, design and experimental investigation of an integrated system, based on the concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) and supercritical organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technologies. The proposed innovative concept deals with the conversion of the CPV/T heat to additional electricity through the Supercritical ORC (SCORC) process.
