Abstract

In this article, in order to achieve a sustainable environment, the optimization of a GT equipped with intercooling of the compression process is discussed. To limit the exergy destruction in intercooling cooling process and also to reduce the heat dissipation in the environment, an ORC system is applied for heat recovery and more power generation. Decision variables include CPR, first stage CPR, TIT, intercooler effectiveness, HRVG pressure, and superheating degree. During a parametric study, the effect of decision variables on operating factors including exergy efficiency, TCR, and the normalized emission rate of environmental pollutants are investigated. Finally, by performing bi-objective optimization and considering exergy efficiency and TCR as OFs, optimal performance conditions are determined. Finally, it is observed that in optimum conditions, exergy efficiency is 33% and TCR is 0.9 $/s.
