This paper presents results of a design analysis of a multi-stage turbine for the cogeneration micro-power plant working in accordance with Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The heat power of the plant is assumed equal to 20 kW and the corresponding available electric output is estimated to be of about 3 kW. Different variants of the radial and axial-flow turbines have been considered, while the detailed results of the calculations of the flow part of 5-stage turbine with partial admission are shown in the paper. The proposed solution has a relatively high efficiency and a rotor speed of about 8000 rpm which is a low value compared with other considered variants.
