Description: The KCORC website is the hub of the community of professionals from the academia and the industry dedicated to the promotion of ORC technology. This 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 to toward a more rationale and standardized regulation that facilitates the diffusion of this technology for the conversion of renewable energy sources.

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 kW e up to tens of MW e ). 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 airc
Registration is currently open for the 7 th international Seminar on ORC power systems (ORC2023) will take place in Seville from 4 to 6 September 2023.
The is the leading conference relating to ORC power cycles and is supported by the KCORC. The seminar provides an exciting opportunity for scientists from industry and academia to discuss the latest advances in research & development, applications and demonstration projects related to ORC power cycles, and related technologies.
