Multi-objective linear-regression-based optimization of a hybrid solar-gas turbine combined cycle with absorption inlet-air cooling unit

Gas turbine (GT) power plants suffer from sensitivity to ambient-air temperature, high fuel consumption, and a high amount of waste heat dumped into the ambient. Various solutions were proposed to solve these drawbacks, which could simultaneously solve at most two problems, usually, at the expense of the third. In this work, however, a novel integration consisting of cascaded solar heat exchangers and a combined cycle power plant CCPP was used...
