In one embodiment, a system includes a generator configured to receive a flow of an organic working fluid. The generator includes a stator and a permanent magnet rotor configured to rotate within the stator to generate electricity. The generator further includes one or more components disposed within the generator and configured to be exposed to the flow of the organic working fluid. The one or more components each include an underlying component, and an encapsulant configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid to inhibit contact between the underlying component and the organic working fluid.

1. A system comprising: a generator configured to receive a flow of an organic working fluid that flows at least through the generator or around an exterior of the generator within a casing, wherein the generator comprises: a stator;a permanent magnet rotor that rotates about an axis within the stator to generate electricity; andone or more components disposed within the generator in one or more positions exposed to the flow of the organic working fluid, wherein the one or more components each comprise an underlying component, and an encapsulant that withstands exposure to the organic working fluid to inhibit contact between the underlying component and the organic working fluid. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more components comprise a stator electrical winding, a stator end turn, a radial magnetic bearing, an axial bearing, or a sensor assembly, or a combination thereof. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the underlying component is wrapped with cloth, and wherein the encapsulant is disposed on the cloth. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the organic working fluid comprises toluene, cyclohexane, or a nonpolar, organic solvent with a lower solubility than cyclohexane, and wherein the solubility is quantified by a Hildebrand solubility parameter. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the encapsulant comprises a filled epoxy encapsulant comprising at least approximately 50% by weight of mechanically reinforcing fillers. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the encapsulant is configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid at temperature of at least approximately 150° C. to 250° C. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more components is impregnated with a varnish configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid. 8. The system of claim 1 comprising: a first organic Rankine cycle system comprising the generator and configured to circulate the organic working fluid through a cycle of expansion and pressurization; anda second organic Rankine cycle system disposed in a cascade configuration with the first organic Rankine cycle system. 9. A system comprising: a one-piece casing having a passage between a first portion and a second portion of the one-piece casing, wherein the passage is configured to receive an organic working fluid through the one-piece casing;a turbine disposed in the passage of the one-piece casing and configured to expand the organic working fluid;a generator disposed in the passage of the one-piece casing and configured to receive a flow of the organic working fluid exiting the turbine, wherein the generator comprises: a stator comprising an electrical winding end turn encapsulated by an encapsulant configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid to inhibit contact between the electrical winding end turn and the organic working fluid; anda permanent magnet rotor configured to rotate within the stator to generate electricity. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the generator is configured to direct the flow of the organic working fluid through the generator between the stator and the rotor. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the electrical winding end turn is impregnated with a varnish configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the electrical winding end turn is wrapped in an electrical grade fiberglass cloth disposed between the electrical winding end turn and the encapsulant. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein the encapsulant comprises a filled epoxy encapsulant comprising at least approximately 60% by weight of mechanically reinforcing fillers. 14. The system of claim 9, comprising a radial magnetic bearing configured to support the permanent magnet rotor, wherein the radial magnetic bearing comprises electromagnetic coils encapsulated with the encapsulant. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the electromagnetic coils are impregnated with a varnish configured to withstand exposure to the organic working fluid. 16. A method comprising: flowing an organic working fluid through a first one-piece casing having a first passage between a first portion and a second portion of the first one-piece casing;driving a first turbine disposed within the first passage of the first one-piece casing with the organic working fluid flowing through the first passage; andgenerating power with a first generator coupled to the first turbine, wherein the first generator is disposed within the first passage. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the first generator comprises a stator with an exterior surface and rotor disposed within the stator. 18. The method of claim 17, comprising flowing the organic fluid along the exterior surface of the stator. 19. The method of claim 17, comprising flowing the organic fluid in a gap between the stator and the rotor. 20. The method of claim 16, comprising: flowing the organic working fluid exiting the first one-piece casing into a second one-piece casing having a second passage;driving a second turbine disposed within the second passage of the second one-piece casing with the organic working fluid; andgenerating power with a second generator coupled to the second turbine, wherein the second generator is disposed within the second passage.
