Abstract :
This paper is a review of thermodynamic cycles applied to recover geothermal energy and industrial waste high enthalpy heat to produce electrical power. While geothermal power generation may supply up to 10% of United States base-load electricity by 2050, in Canada, ORC and Kalina cycles may produce power in the future especially with industrial waste heat and biomass.
