Abstract: This paper is devoted to the investigation of critical dynamic events causing thermochemical decomposition of the working fluid in organic Rankine cycle power systems. The case study is the plant of an oil and gas platform where one of the three gas turbines is combined with an organic Rankine cycle unit to increase the overall energy conversion efficiency.
