Abstract: Geothermal power plants can provide clean and renewable energy and can be proposed as integrated units for simultaneous production of cooling and power. This paper presents a cascade arrangement of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and a water/lithium bromide (LiBr) absorption chiller (ABS). Starting from a literature reference layout which is taken as benchmark, some improvements are proposed at system level.
