Figure further demonstrates the differences that can result from optimizing to minimize cost versus to maximize electricity generation. For example, at a 200°C ORC inlet temperature, the cost-minimized ORC specific capital cost is 2.7 M$/MW e while the maximized power cost is 4.4 M$/MW e . In turn, the ORC specific electric power increases from about 80 kJ e /kg geofluid to about 100 kJ e /kg geofluid . These differences decrease with decreasing ORC inlet temperature, but still illustrate that the optimization strategy has non-negligible implications to the results.
