Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system for recovering low-grade thermal energy from multiple heat sources and converting it into electrical power. The system comprises heat sources including solar thermal energy, industrial waste heat, biomass combustion heat, and geothermal energy, a thermal energy storage system, and a switching/logical control unit for regulating the thermal input supplied to the ORC system. The ORC system comprises an evaporator, an expander or turbine, a recuperator, a condenser, a working-fluid circulation pump, and an electrical generator. Thermal energy supplied to the evaporator vaporises an organic working fluid, which expands through the expander to produce mechanical power for driving the generator. The recuperator facilitates heat recovery within the working-fluid circuit, while the condenser converts the vapour into liquid for recirculation. The control unit regulates the selection or combination of available heat sources according to their availability and operating conditions. The system is configured for installation on a mobile or transportable platform to facilitate deployment in remote, rural, off-grid, and industrial locations. The integrated arrangement enables the utilisation of multiple low-grade heat sources for decentralised electrical power generation.
