Exergoeconomic based optimization of a gas fired steam power plant using genetic algorithm

This research paper mainly deals with exergy, economic, and environmental investigation of a 250 MW steam power plant located in Iran. In order to model this power plant, energy balance equations are used and each part of the power plant is modeled accordingly. Further by introducing the boiler as t...
