In this paper we discuss the usefulness of a bottoming cycle applied to a micro size gas turbine unit to enhance its electric performance. A commercial 100 kWe micro gas turbine is used as a topping system; a basic thermodynamic analysis is performed to define the principal characteristics of viable vapour bottoming cycles. The analysis points to a solution adopting an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with R245fa as working fluid, due both to environmental constrains and to technical criteria.

Current energy conversion machines such as the micro gas turbine can be improved by harvesting the low-grade energy of the exhaust. A prominent option for such is the organic Rankine cycle due to its relatively efficient and reliable design. This manuscript presents a review on the subject and is the first step toward the design of an organic Rankine cycle bottoming a 100 kWe recuperated gas turbine. After introducing and covering the historical development of the technology, appropriate guidelines for defining the cycle arrangement and selecting the fluid are presented. At last, the viability of the cycle is assessed by assuming an appropriate efficiency value and general cost functions. The organic Rankine is expected to generate an additional 16.6 kWe of power, increasing the electrical efficiency from 30 to 35%. However, the capital cost increase was estimated in 48%.
