Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power systems are an efficient and reliable option for the generation of electricity in the small to medium power range (from few kWe up to tens of MWe). They are especially suitable for waste-heat to power and renewable energy sources like solar radiation, biomass thermal conversion, geothermal heat exploitation. A very promising application is waste heat recovery from mobile engines (internal combustion engines, gas turbines, etc) on board of trucks, ships, trains, and aircraft.

This website is the hub of our community of professionals from the academia and the industry dedicated to the promotion of ORC technology. The KCORC website is a tool to disseminate information on the basics of this technology, current research and development, a way to facilitate networking and direct efforts towards a more rational and standardized regulation, facilitating the diffusion of ORC systems for the conversion of renewable energy sources.
