The possibility to recover the heat in the analyzed power plant is discussed. The decision variables and the thermodynamic functions for the optimization algorithm were identified. The principles of operation of genetic algorithm and methodology of conducted calculations are presented. The sensitivity analysis was performed for the best solutions to determine the effects of the selected variables on the power and efficiency of the unit. Optimization of the heat recovery from the air separation unit, flue gas condition and CO2 capture and compression installation using genetic algorithm was designed to replace the low-pressure section of the regenerative water heaters of steam cycle in analyzed unit. The result was to increase the power and efficiency of the entire power plant.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Optimizing management of the condensing heat and cooling of gases compression in oxy block using of a genetic algorithm}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/94488/PDF/Brzeczek%5B20836023%20-%20Archives%20of%20Thermodynamics%5D%20Optimizing%20management%20of%20the%20condensing%20heat%20and%20cooling%20of%20gases%20compression%20in%20oxy%20block%20using%20of%20a%20genetic%20algorithm(1).pdf}, doi={10.2478/aoter-2013-0038}, keywords={genetic algorithm, CO2 capture and compression, air separation unit, Flue gas conditioning}, }
