Both thermoeconomic modeling and multi-objective optimization studies are undertaken for a novel integrated multigeneration system, containing a biomass combustor, an organic Rankine cycle to produce electricity, a double-effect absorption chiller for cooling, a heat exchanger, a proton exchange...

A comprehensive thermodynamic modeling and optimization is reported of a polygeneration energy system for the simultaneous production of heating, cooling, electricity and hot water from a common energy source. This polygeneration system is composed of four major parts: gas turbine (GT) cycle,...

A new multi-generation system based on a biomass combustor, an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), an absorption chiller and a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer to produce hydrogen, and a domestic water heater for hot water production, is proposed and thermodynamically assessed. Exergy analysis is...

A comprehensive exergy, exergoeconomic and environmental impact analysis and optimization is reported of several combined cycle power plants (CCPPs). In the first part, thermodynamic analyses based on energy and exergy of the CCPPs are performed, and the effect of supplementary firing on the...

In the present work, a combined heat and power plant for cogeneration purposes that produces 50MW of electricity and 33.3kg/s of saturated steam at 13bar is optimized using genetic algorithm. The design parameters of the plant considered are compressor pressure ratio (rAC), compressor isentropic...
