Abstract

This paper deals with a dynamic analysis on a low concentration solar power plants coupled with Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC), which can be an alternative to PV systems because of their capability of providing a smoother electricity production due to their thermal inertia. At least within certain restraints, moreover they are able to exploit diffused solar radiation.
