ORC Grid Integration

Generating power from waste heat is only half the job; that power must then be connected cleanly to the plant or the grid. ORC grid integration covers synchronising the generator, meeting power-quality requirements and deciding whether the electricity is consumed on site, exported, or both, the details that turn recovered heat into usable, compliant power.

What Integration Involves

• Synchronisation, matching the generator’s output to the grid before connection.
• Power quality, controlling voltage, frequency and harmonics to the grid’s standards.
• Protection and controls, isolating the system safely under fault.
• Metering strategy, deciding self-consumption versus export and how it is accounted.

Self-Consume or Export

Most ORC installations recover power to offset the plant’s own electricity draw, which is usually the highest-value use, avoiding a retail price rather than earning a wholesale one. Exporting surplus to the grid adds interconnection approvals and metering, so the choice is an economic one settled early, since it shapes the electrical design.
