4 Existing Biomass-Fueled ORC-Based Cogeneration Plants 

ORC-based system manufacturers have been present in the market since the beginning of 1980s. They give ORC-based system in a wide range of power and temperature levels, as shown in Table 10.3 (Quoilin and Lemort, 2009 Qui et al., 2011 Velez et al 2012). The list mentioned in the table is not exhaustive. There are other manufacturers also available like Enertime, Barber-Nichols, GE/Calnetix Technologies, Enex, etc. (Enertime, 2008).
