BINARY GEOTHERMAL CYCLE Power Production from Renewable Energy – A.Y. 2020/21 Prof. Paolo Silva – Ing. Dario Alfani Pay attention: the results may slightly differ due to the accuracy of the optimization process (obtained through the parametric approach) and due to the tolerance applied to the solution of the energy balances at the evaporator. These results are obtained with a preliminary optimization step of 0.5 bar (of the evaporation pressure) and a final optimization step of 0.05 bar just in proximity of the optimal point. With this approach the optimal evaporation pressure obtained is equal to 8.05 bar, confirming the correctness of the optimal evaporation pressure obtained with the Excel add-in solver optimization tool which is equal to 8.048 bar.
