Abstract: Integrating performant waste-to-energy solutions in composting facilities is essential to mitigate the pressure of increasing amounts of residual municipal solid waste. Hence, this paper investigates the integration of residual municipal solid waste gasification with a bottoming organic Rankine cycle (ORC) unit, a biomass pyrolysis reactor and a wastewater treatment plant from an energy point of view. Two layouts are compared to evaluate the system's flexibility in a district cooling and heating network with varying load demand.
