Abstract: Disclosed is a smart farm system comprising: a Rankine cycle in which a first fluid passes through a pump, an evaporator, a turbine, and a condenser along a first circulation line; a heating unit configured to exchange heat with the evaporator; a valve unit which is provided between the turbine and the condenser, and configured to run the first fluid to the condenser when the temperature of the first fluid at the outlet of the turbine is a first temperature, and to bypass the first fluid to a bypass line when the temperature of the first fluid at the outlet of the turbine is a second temperature higher than the first temperature; and a smart farm configured to exchange heat with the first fluid and the heating unit via the condenser or the bypass line.

Abstract: An electric vehicle including the Rankine cycle in which a circulation system of working fluid is formed is proposed. The Rankine cycle includes a pump configured to circulate the working fluid along the circulation system, a heat source comprising a battery unit, a motor unit, and a solar panel unit to transmit thermal energy to the working fluid circulated by the pump, a power generating unit provided on a path of the circulation system to generate electric energy through the thermal energy of the working fluid passing through the heat source, and a radiator configured to perform a heat exchange process between the working fluid passing through the power generating unit and outside air. The Rankine cycle further includes a flow distributor to distribute the working fluid circulated by the pump to at least any one of the battery unit, the motor unit, and the solar panel unit.
