In this paper, a RSORC (regenerative solar organic rankine cycle) is optimized. For this purpose, hourly analysis is considered and evaporator pressure, condenser pressure, refrigerant mass flow rate, number of solar panel (solar collector), storage capacity and regenerator effectiveness are selecte...
