Abstract
Converting solar energy using the Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) to produce electrical energy and supply industrial heat is one of the most prominent and most popular sustainable and renewable, widely used throughout the worldwide due to its effectiveness and benefit returns. For this reason, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of these power plants under a specific climatic conditions and analysis the results come out from the simulation using an EES developed model. The analysis investigates the energy and exergy of the PTC plant coupled with Turboden ORC cycle. The presented model allows us to preview the theoretical results and derive the expected results smoothly, with the possibility of development for a better control of the use of renewable energies in the industrial field. The thermal efficiency of the ORC cycle increases as the heat output increases until it reaches an almost constant value above 2801 [kW] in heat output with a output capacity of the ORC cycle about 1 [MW].
