Resumen:
This paper presents a NLP mathematical model of a Dual Purpose Plant (cogeneration of electricity
and fresh water). Precisely, the main goal is to determine a set of thermodynamic non-ideal optimal
solutions by applying a deterministic global optimization algorithm proposed by the authors. General
Algebraic Modeling System GAMS is used to implement the model and the resolution strategy
as well. The considered dual purpose process involves a gas turbine discharging exhaust gas to a
backpressure turbine cycle which is coupled to a thermal desalination process and to a condensation
turbine cycle. This system has been previously studied by the authors but using local optimization
algorithm and consequently it was not possible to ensure the globality of solutions. The obtained
global optimal solutions provide preliminary designs that satisfy optimum thermodynamic and
process functional criteria.
