Applied Energy, 2002, vol. 73, issue 2, 103-138

Abstract: Proposed, conceptual designs and applications for a cascaded system for electricity generation, employing "waste" heat from a primary stage as the stimulation for a subsequent stage, are outlined. The use of solar energy, wind and/or hydropower to supplement the energy inputs to the second and third stages is also considered. Present and future economic viabilities of the proposed hybrid electricity-generation systems are assessed qualitatively.
