Energy efficiency improvement and waste heat utilization in power generation and energy intensive industrial applications are in the main focus of the researchers and engineers nowadays. A great deal of experience was gained by the industrial leaders such as ORMAT, Siemens, Caterpillar, Turboden, and others. However, the commercially and semi-commercially available systems for waste heat utilization have certain restrictions that limit the utilization cycle efficiency to approximately 18%. The paper presents an innovative concept of waste heat utilization system that allows reaching the utilization cycle efficiency up to 28–30% employing low-boiling media such as butane, propane, pentane and others. Applying such a concept to Distributed Generation systems the overall energy efficiency could be boost up to 58–60% and further up to 90% in case of CHP production.

In order to protect the environment, save energy and reduce emissions, and promote the utilization of wave energy, this paper reviews the development history of application generation technology, summarizes its development from two aspects of optimization and application of wave energy conversion devices, analyses the application examples of wave energy generation devices on ships. This paper summarizes the application trend of wave power generation devices on ships: wave power generation should be used as auxiliary and domestic electricity for ships and wave energy should be combined with other new energy sources. Wave energy application in marine power generation can effectively reduce emissions from ships, which is conducive to the sustainable development of human society. The system mainly included low speed marine main diesel engine, waste heat boiler, electricity generation sub-system of power turbine, electricity generation sub-system of steam turbine, the heat exchange equipment, electricity generation sub-system of organic working medium steam turbine and other equipments. Based on experimental data of main engine and later theoretical calculation, this paper studied the effect rules of electricity generation power, waste heat utilization potential and related parameters of the waste heat utilization system under different main diesel load and ambient temperature.
