Multiobjective optimization

The performance of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) relies on process design and operation. Simultaneous optimization of design and operation for a range of working fluids (WFs) is therefore a promising approach for WF selection. For this, …

A decision support tool has been developed that uses global multiobjective optimization based on 1) the environmental impacts, evaluated within the framework of full life cycle assessment; and 2) process costs, evaluated by using rigorous process …
