The proposed method uses process integration techniques and a multi-objective optimisation procedure to generate optimal steam cycle configurations which can be ordered by complexity-costs and efficiency. The interest of this methods is to allow the integration of complex heat exchanger network layout, providing systematically alternative arrangements using an effective solving method.steam networkmulti-objective optimisationpower plant designNetworkstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
