Abstract

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) improves the efficiency of geothermal energy use by converting heat into electricity, particularly for low- to medium-temperature resources. Orcan’s modular ORC systems overcome the challenge of fluctuating heat demand by continuously generating power and converting excess or unused heat into electricity. Their modular design offers flexibility: capacity can be scaled to match uncertain geothermal output, modules can be relocated or reused, and systems can adapt to future changes in heat utilization. This reduces investment risks, lowers operating costs, and extends equipment life, making geothermal projects more economical and sustainable.
