Optimal synthesis and design of Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) via mathematical programming

Thermal efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) depends strongly on the Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) design which links the gas cycle with the steam cycle. Therefore, the HRSG must be carefully designed in order to maximize the heat exchanged and to improve the overall performance of the plant.
