Abstract:The objective of this study is to investigate the economic viability of non-conventional power cycles such as Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS-11) and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to convert waste heat of aluminum smelters into electricity. A comparison between both technologies is carried out using a model that combines market economic parameters and energy performances obtained from the thermodynamic analysis. Indicator such as specific cost of power generation has been determined for different capital cost scenar… Show more
