Popis: In this paper, a low-temperature geothermal organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power generation system model is established. R245fa is used as the circulating working fluid. The calculation program is compiled using the engineering calculation software EES, and the thermodynamic parameters and thermodynamic properties of the main state points of the ORC are theoretically calculated. The effects of narrow point temperature difference, evaporation temperature, geothermal water temperature and condenser end temperature difference on system performance are analyzed. The results show that the narrow point temperature difference has a significant impact on the ORC performance. Considering system performance and economic cost comprehensively, the best narrow point temperature difference and the best condenser end temperature difference are both within the range of 5–7 K.
