Performance enhancement and multi-objective optimization of a double-flash binary geothermal power plant

Initiating cost-effective and technological frameworks to exploit geothermal energy is a fundamental incentive for scientists and engineers; in this regard, flash-binary geothermal power plants are plausible for high-temperature geothermal resources. Stemming from an in-depth literature review, it i...

description Initiating cost-effective and technological frameworks to exploit geothermal energy is a fundamental incentive for scientists and engineers; in this regard, flash-binary geothermal power plants are plausible for high-temperature geothermal resources.
