in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

application of cogeneration systems based gas turbine for heat and power production is increasing. because of finite natural energy resources and increasing energy demand the cost effective design of energy systems is essential. cgam problem as a cogeneration system is considered here for analyzing. two new approaches are considered, first in thermodynamic model of gas turbine and cogeneration ...

In the present paper, the thermoeconomic optimization of an endoreversible solardriven heat engine has been carried out by using finite-time/finite-size thermodynamic theory. In the considered heat engine model, the heat transfer from the hot reservoir to the working fluid is assumed to be the radiation type and the heat transfer to the cold reservoir is assumed the conduction type. In this wor...

In the present paper, the thermoeconomic optimization of an irreversible solar-driven heat engine model has been carried out by using finite-time/finite-size thermodynamic theory. In our study we take into account losses due to heat transfer across finite time temperature differences, heat leakage between thermal reservoirs and internal irreversibilities in terms of a parameter which comes from...

performance optimization of a single-effect lithium bromide water absorption refrigerationsystem is the subject of this paper. first, the thermodynamic model of the system wasderived based on thefirst and second law analysis of an absorption refrigeration cycle with libr-water as the working fluid pair.then, the effects of different design parameters such as the generator inlet hot water temper...

This paper presents a methodology to integrate life cycle assessment (LCA) in models used to design energy conversion systems. It is illustrated by an application to a thermo-economic model for the multi-objective optimization of synthetic natural gas (SNG) production from woody biomass. The life cycle inventory (LCI) is written as a function of the parameters of the thermoeconomic model. The o...

In this paper, a novel poly-generation system for olefin and power production from natural gas is proposed, which integrates hydrocarbon production and the combined cycle power generation. Economic and technological evaluation based on the internal rate of return (IRR) and exergy efficiency is performed. The energy integration results in the proposed poly-generation system for simultaneous prod...

In a European context characterized by growing need for operational flexibility across the electricity sector, the combined cycle power plants are increasingly subjected to cyclic operation. These new operation profiles cause an increase of production costs and decrease of revenues, which undermines the competitiveness of the combined cycles. Power plant operators need tools to predict the effe...
