Abstract

The optimization of a multi-generation system which represents the integrated dual-purpose desalination plant and a low-scale absorption refrigeration system is addressed. A nonlinear mathematical programming optimization model that integrates a natural gas combined-cycle, a multi-effect distillation desalination plant, a series flow double-effect water-lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system, and a water heater, is developed based on first-principle models. The model is implemented in General Algebraic Modelling System and a generalized gradient-based optimization algorithm is used.
