Abstract A large part of the scientific community efforts is focused on improving efficiency and reducing costs of desalination processes. For that, this work presents a methodology to find optimal operation strategies, based on genetic algorithms and a highly customizable dynamic solar desalination model set, of any system’s configurations according to several criteria. This methodology has been tested in a solar-gas hybrid configuration modeled in this work. Test results show that the methodology can improve the distillate production by 20% with respect to the initial case, when optimization criterion is to maximize production, or can increase the distillate production by 14%, only with 10% increase of the thermal energy from gas boiler consumption, when optimization criteria are to maximize distillate production and minimize thermal energy consumption from gas boiler.

与双效吸收式热泵耦合的太阳能热海水淡化系统的优化运行

摘要 科学界的大部分努力都集中在提高海水淡化过程的效率和降低成本上。为此，这项工作提出了一种方法，可以根据多个标准，根据遗传算法和高度可定制的动态太阳能海水淡化模型集，找到任何系统配置的最佳操作策略。该方法已在本工作中建模的太阳能-气体混合配置中进行了测试。测试结果表明，当优化准则为产量最大化时，该方法可以将馏分油产量提高20%，或者仅在天然气热能增加10%的情况下，可以提高14%的馏分油产量。锅炉消耗，
