The context of the researchThe UK has set a target to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050, relative to 1990 levels. To achieve this target, a reduction in energy consumption of around 40% will be required, and therefore significant improvements in energy efficiency are necessary. Energy recovery from industrial waste heat sources is considered to offer a significant contribution to improving overall energy efficiency in the energy-intensive industrial sectors. Brief description of the context of the research including potential impact;Although there are several alternative technologies for waste heat recovery, the ORC system remains the most promising in practice. Large ORC systems are commercially viable for high-temperature applications (e.g. Ormat, USA) however, the application to low-temperature waste heat (<250 centigrade ) is in its infancy. Yet more than 60% of UK industrial waste heat sources are in the low temperature band (<250 centrigrade). There is clearly a mismatch between ORC technology supply and demand, so innovative research and development for develop efficient small scale ORC power plants are highly required.Aims and objectives;Increase the understanding of Organic Rankine Cycle power plants using zeotropic mixture of refrigerants as the working fluid.Investigate how the system performance can be improved in response to the changing heat source and heat sink temperature.Novelty of the research methodology;Dynamic modelling method The utilization of zeotropic mixture as working fluidAlignment to EPSRC's strategies and research areas;The research theme of Energy will be addressed through the research area of Energy Efficiency (end use energy demand) which is the largest area highlighted for growth under this theme. Energy Efficiency is also a growing research area under the research theme Engineering. This project aligns closely with EPSRC's strategy on the energy theme and will address this challenge by developing a more efficient and flexible waste heat recovery system.Its potential applications and benefits;The developed technology can be widely applied for industrial waste heat recovery, and distributed power generation from biomass. The wide installation of this technology can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security.Any companies or collaborators involved;DRD Power Ltd and Wellman Thermal Technology

这项研究的背景英国设定了一个目标，即到2050年，相对于1990年的水平将其温室气体排放量减少至少80％。为了实现这一目标，将需要减少约40％的能源消耗，因此必须显着提高能源效率。从工业废物热源中恢复能量可以为提高能源密集型工业部门的总体能源效率做出重大贡献。对研究的背景的简要描述包括潜在影响；尽管有几种替代技术用于废热恢复，但实际上，ORC系统仍然是最有希望的。大型兽人系统对于高温应用（例如Ormat，USA）在商业上可行，但是，在低温废热（<250厘米）中的应用仍处于起步阶段。然而，低温带（<250 Centrigrade）中，超过60％的英国工业废物热源。 ORC技术的供应和需求之间显然存在不匹配，因此高度需要开发有效的小规模ORC发电厂的创新研究和开发。iM和目标；通过使用冷冻剂的珠原混合物作为工作流体，将有机兰克金循环发电厂的理解提高，以对系统的响应进行响应。如何改善系统性能，以更改热量源和热量的方法。对EPSRC策略和研究领域的综合性混合物作为运作流动性；能源研究主题将通过能源效率的研究领域（最终使用能源需求）来解决，这是该主题下增长的最大领域。能源效率也是研究主题工程下的研究领域。该项目与EPSRC在能源主题方面的策略紧密保持一致，并将通过开发更有效，更灵活的废物热恢复系统来应对这一挑战。它的潜在应用和收益；开发的技术可以广泛应用于工业废物热恢复，并从生物质中分布发电。该技术的广泛安装可以减少温室气体排放并改善能源安全。
