ORC + Turbine
Smart Energy Conversion.

On demand, the TESS Organic Rankine Cycle turbine turns stored heat back into clean, dispatchable electricity — peak shaving, load leveling, and more megawatt-hours from fuel you already burned.

What it means at a real plant

Modeled impact, plant by plant.

Representative planning models — every engagement starts with a site-specific heat/mass balance so you get real numbers, not a brochure.

🏭 1,200 MW coal plant (70% PLF)

MetricModeled impact
Fuel saved335,000–478,000 tonnes of coal per year
Added output+1.47–1.84 million MWh per year
Cooling water saved10.3–15.5 million m³ per year (~2.7–4.1 billion gallons)

🔥 500 MW gas CCGT (wet-cooled, 50% PLF)

MetricModeled impact
Gas saved29.8–42.6 million SCM per year
Added output+438,000–547,500 MWh per year
Cooling water saved0.66–1.10 million m³ per year (~174–289 million gallons)
Beyond the power plant

Cooling is the other half of the bill.

Cooling Towers

Harvesting heat before it becomes cooling burden cuts cooling-tower energy 20–30%.

💾

Data Centres

The same storage-and-shift approach reduces data-centre cooling energy 20–30%.

Turbine Inlet Air Cooling

TESS before the turbine inlet holds air near ISO 15°C in hot climates — recovering lost capacity fast. A 200 MW pilot models +63–66 GWh/year.
