TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of regenerative organic Rankine cycles using dry organic fluids, to convert waste energy to power from low-grade heat sources is presented, and the evaluation for both configurations will be performed using a combined first and second law analysis by varying certain system operating parameters at various reference temperatures and pressures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system operated following the electric load (FEL) and the thermal load (FTL) strategies are evaluated and optimized based on: primary energy consumption (PEC), operation cost, and carbon dioxide emissions (CDE).

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimization of the operation of CCHP systems for different climate conditions based on operational cost, primary energy consumption (PEC), and carbon dioxide emissions (CDE) using an optimal energy dispatch algorithm is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and CHP systems operating following the electric load (FEL) and operating following thermal load (FTL), based on primary energy consumption (PEC), operation cost, and carbon dioxide emissions (CDE), was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, a second-law analysis for the use of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to convert waste energy to power from low-grade heat sources was presented, where the organic working fluids were selected to investigate the effect of the fluid boiling point temperature on the performance of ORCs.
