Optimization of organic Rankine cycle using ocean thermal energy based on NSGA-II

The organic Rankine cycle is one of the key methods to utilize ocean thermal energy, which is abundant and continuous renewable energy. In this paper, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGAII) based approach is utilized to optimize an organic Rankine cycle-based ocean thermal energy conversion system. The objective is to maximize the degree of thermal energy utilization and the maximum system power
