PowerVerde test shows its ORC can efficiently run on Solar, Biomass, Geothermal or Waste Heat

(13/11/2009)

PowerVerde, Inc. has announced the successful test of its new Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”), the PowerVerde 25/50 KW electric power system. The new system, a next generation design, is capable of producing 25 kilowatts of electrical power on any low grade heat (180 degree F). This test was conducted at the company’s facility, Arizona Research and Development. This renewable energy heat recovery power generation system will operate on any adequate heat source. The system was designed principa... [more]

Geothermal energy advantages begin to outweigh its high implementation costs

(13/08/2008)

Geothermal energy is a continuous source of energy since the heat is trapped inside the earth, without depleting. This places geothermal energy above sporadic wind and solar energy, which tends to have a capacity factor of only 20-35%; geothermal capacity is more than 70%. In the race to find alternative energy sources, geothermal energy is gaining favour. Although global energy use from geothermal sources today only amounts to less than 1%, geothermal projects now exist in around 20 countri... [more]
