Multi-objective optimization of a new cogeneration system driven by gas turbine cycle for power and freshwater production

A novel power and freshwater generation system is presented based on the gas turbine cycle as the main system and Kalina cycle and humidification-dehumidification desalination unit as the waste heat recovery subsystems. To evaluate the system’s performance, energy, exergy, economic, and environmental analysis is performed. The optimum performance of all optimization scenarios is found by applying the multi-objective genetic algorithm and using...
