ORC turbine + battery system = a smart energy solution from Againity

Againity offers a complete, integrated solution that combines our in-house developed ORC turbines with a fully engineered battery system.

Why combine an ORC turbine with a battery system?

Againity’s ORC turbine converts low temperature heat, for example from a heating plant or process industry, into electricity. When the turbine is integrated with a battery system, both electricity production and usage are optimised.

Benefits:

• Lower electricity costs through self-produced electricity
• Reduced costs by storing low-cost electricity for use during high price hours
• Improved operational flexibility and energy balance
• Off grid operation when the battery is integrated with the ORC turbine and heat source
• Backup power protects operations against power grid instability
• New revenue streams through participation in ancillary service markets

Typical applications

• Heating plants
• Process industry
• Hospitals and critical infrastructure
• Waste incineration and biogas plants

Benefits of the ORC turbine

• Converts heat into electricity – proven technology with references in nine countries
• Modular system – easy to install, expand and integrate
• Robust and automated operation for high availability and minimal maintenance

Benefits of the battery system

• Off grid functionality and backup power protect operations against grid instability
• Reduced electricity costs by shifting consumption between the battery and the ORC turbine when electricity prices are low
• New revenue from participation in ancillary service markets

Seamless integration through optimised control

Againity’s solution is based on intelligent communication between the turbine and the battery. Automated control optimises charging and discharging based on electricity prices, production and consumption, with no manual handling required.

Self-sufficient energy system with off-grid functionality

The system can be configured for off grid operation, enabling local electricity supply in microgrids or during power outages. This is ideal for critical infrastructure or isolated facilities.
