Abstract
In this study, the solar Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system was analyzed to meet some of the electrical energy needed in large and medium-sized buildings and large enterprises such as hotels from solar energy. A simulation study was conducted for different districts in Türkiye that are rich in solar energy potential. These counties and the provinces they are affiliated with; Silifke-İçel, Alanya-Antalya, Bodrum-Muğla, Çeşme-İzmir. The power value transferred to the ORC was determined by considering the instantaneous radiation values and sunshine durations for the districts. The performance of solar ORC was determined by comparing fluids from three different organic fluid types. Organic fluids and types used in design; benzene-aromatic hydrocarbon, cyclohexane-alkane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4)-siloxane. Considering the maximum electrical energy values obtained from Solar ORC in the summer months, it was seen that 205 MWh electricity generated was obtained for Silifke with benzene at a heat source temperature of 223 oC in July. Maximum solar parabolic trough collector (PTC) specific electric power value was determined as 59.52 W/m2 in Alanya district with benzene in June. When the four districts are evaluated together, it has been determined that benzene performs better than cyclohexane by 3.8% on average and 23% better than D4. When the annual electrical energy values are examined, the highest production was determined as 1625 MWh with benzene fluid in Alanya district.
