Introduction. Gas turbine is one of the power generating machines that have been widely used in various industries such as power plants, refineries and oil and gas industries. Since a high percentage of the power requirements of the country, is provided in the gas power plants and due to the fact that fossil fuels are the energy requirements of these power plants, thus the performance improvement of these power plants is very important. From about 70 years before gas turbines have been used to generate electricity, in the last twenty years the production of these type of turbines has increased by twenty times. Thermodynamic Simulator of gas cycle and combined cycle, is a useful tool to predict the behavior of each components of the cycle, by which the basic parameters of the processes in the cycle can be obtained. Exergy analysis is a good way to evaluate the quality of the energy with the aid of laws of conservation of mass and the first law of thermodynamics, and is on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics. The tool is used for design, analysis and optimization of thermal systems. The main objective of exergy analysis, finding solutions to eliminate or reduce thermodynamic defects in the processes. We can reduced exergy destruction by identifying the irreversibility factors and situation. Many studies have been done in this field, research done in this field can be mentioned the following: Siddiqui et al. [1] In their article they simulated a 100 MW gas cycle of one of the power plants in Iran is hot and dry regions ,by thermoflow software ,and investigated the effect of steam injection into the combustion chamber based on the exergy concept in order to improving gas turbine cycle. Sadeghi et al. [2] they studied and simulated the effects of light and heavy fuel on operational parameters of the gas turbine and combined cycle in Kazeroon power plant. Kim and Hwang [3] examined the performance of a gas turbine with recovery in half-load situation, by considering and comparing different mechanisms to control the turbine. Salary et al. [4] have studied exergy analysis of 112 MW Power Plant in Ahvaz Zergan. They optimized the cycle by increasing the turbine inlet temperature in terms of energy and exergy. Abdul Khaliq [5], used exergy method to analyze gas turbine cycle with inlet air cooling and has shown that most exergy destruction occurs in the combustion chamber, he also showed that by use of cooling the compressor inlet air, energy efficiency and the cycle Exergy will be increased. Ehyaei et al. [6] at the same time studied exergic, economic and enviromental analysis affected by Fog cooling system in the gas cycle of Rajayee power plant. Sanaye and Jafari [7] work in optimizing field, they have examined effect of inlet air cooling in gas turbine cycle by absorption refrigeration. The two-

objective optimization of the system is done by the genetic algorithm. kaviri et al. [8] have done thermodynamic modeling and two-objective optimization of a combined cycle power plant. Ahmadi [9] study on thermodynamic analysis of a gas cycle power plant and obtained best design parameters by using multi-objective optimization. In this study, energetic and exergetic analysis of gas turbine power plants have done and solutions to improve efficiency and performance of gas turbine are suggested. Factors affecting the efficiency of power plants have been studied and finally variables to improve the efficiency of power plants have been selected. Exergy (or ability to perform work). The maximum work that a system may do during a reversible process from initial state to reach a dead end is called exergy. Exergy of a system in a given state depends on environmental conditions and system properties, and for a control volume, it’s equal to or reversible work with a dead end. Exergy has potential, physical and chemical components. For the steady flow devices, kinetic and potential exergy can be assumed to be zero. The sum of physical and chemical exergy, is called thermal exergy [10].

Exergy analysis by using of the first and second laws of thermodynamics on the components of a system, makes it possible to identify the place and production of irreversibility and unfavorable thermodynamic process of the system, In this way, in addition to evaluate the different components of thermodynamic cycle, approaches to increase efficiency and output are identified [13]. Efficiency of Thermodynamic Second Law (Exergic efficiency). The first law efficiency is defined by an ideal isentropic process that never happens in practice. It makes no mention of the best case, and isn't sufficient to measure the actual system performance alone. To assess the deviation from the best possible processes, second law efficiency is defined. The second law efficiency determines how much work ability or potential used in a process [11]. In fact, it determines how much of exergy given to the system, by a process is achieved and how much of it is wasted in the form of irreversibility. The second law efficiency is defined the ratio of useful exergy to exergy input and output intensity of irreversibility is defined as (5) the difference between output exergy and input exergy [13]. = ̇=

Input energy consists of latent and sensible energy of air and chemical energy of fuel. Most thermal losses is related to the condenser, because discharges the heat taken from the cooling water to the environment. After condenser most heat losses is related to the exhaust flue gas that is at about 118 Celsius degrees, which enters too much heat into the environment without using them. Table 3.

adaption between the results. In six cold months (October to the end of April), due to a dramatic reduction in household electricity consumption compared with six warm months of the years, the demand for electricity from power plants in the country declined. The main priority in the six cold months, is increase in exergy efficiency of gas cycle and reduce the annual cost. With the increase in air temperature, the gas turbine and the compressor's power reduces, due to the more steep decline of power in gas turbine compared with the compressor, the net output power of the gas cycle is reduced. With the increase in air temperature, mass flow of gas turbine exhaust gases reduces, less steam is produced in the recovery boiler and there will be a total loss in power of steam turbine. By reducing the power of steam-gas cycle, the net output of power plant appear with declined more sharply. For one degree Celsius rise in ambient air temperature, pure output power of the gas cycle, steam turbine and power plant will averagely reduce 0.63 and 0.27 and 0.53, respectively. Comparison between output powers with respect to temperature is shown in Figure 4.

After reviewing the parameters affecting the performance of plants, defining optimization problem based on target functions and parameters can be done. Optimization problem in finding answers or solutions on a set of possible options aimed at improving the standard or standards of the issue. Multi-objective optimization problem arise from the decision-making methods in the real world that one decision maker faces a set of contradictory and conflicting objectives and criteria. In these types of issues, unlike the single-objective optimization problems and because of the multi-purpose (often conflicting), rather than just a solution optimized set of questions arises. In the multi-objective optimization, after the introduction of design variables and determine the objective functions, optimal points are determined and the impact of design on objective functions are provided. Many factors affect the performance of gas turbine, therefore, gas turbine cycle has many ways to improve the performance of the industry. Each of these methods has different effects on output power, efficiency and specific consumption of fuel. The selection of a particular method according to plant type, climatic conditions, work area, how it affects the performance of the project cycle, and measures will be considered. Some of the most important factors affecting the operation of the gas turbine are: • Pressure ratio • Compressor inlet temperature • Compressor efficiency

• The compressor intake • Turbine inlet temperature • Turbine efficiency • Output power of turbine • Fuel air ratio • Mass flow rate As can be seen in Figure 5, with increasing ambient air temperature, compressor pressure ratio reduces. As well as the temperature increases, air density decreases, resulting in a greater volume of air should be particularly dense, and the special power of compressor will increase.

Gas turbine is power generation system at constant volume. By increasing the ambient air temperature and constant air pressure in a fixed volume, density and mass flow rate of air flow is reduced, resulting in reduced compressor inlet mass. Figure 6 shows the compressor inlet air mass flow changes to show the changes in ambient temperature. For one degree Celsius rise in temperature, compressor inlet air flow is reduced by an average of 0.24 per cent.

1. Energy just relates to the system condition and the mass flow but exergy in addition to those conditions is dependent on environmental conditions. 2. The amount of energy in the dead system may also have an amount, but the exergy in a dead system is always zero. 3. Energy for all the processes are subject to the law of survival, and is stated in the form of the first law of thermodynamics but exergy is subject to survival only in reversible processes. In irreversible processes, always exergy a destroyed. Exergy, applies a combination of the first and second laws of thermodynamics to the review process. 4. Energy is only a quantitative measure for evaluating processes but exergy is both quantitative and qualitative measure. 5. Energy can be calculated with respect to each case assumptions but exergy basis mode is determined by environmental conditions. After reading the parameters and variables on power plant performance optimization, optimization process takes place. Because of the simultaneous search of multiple points, no need for an explicit mathematical relationship between objective functions, the need for direct measurement and mathematical calculations needed to optimize the methods of analysis and generalization of random search algorithms, optimization of problem is done by random search algorithms. The objective function. To compare the achieved considerable optimization problems we need to have a selection criterion. Such a measure, which plan is optimized and is a function of design variables, standard function, is called advantage function or objective function. In this study, the objective functions, exergy efficiency and costs related to gas cycle, and the optimal points represent the highest efficiency and lowest costs. Relation 6 and 7 show the first and second objective function, respectively.

Net Output power of the gas cycle can be obtained as above. Decision variables. Thermodynamic modeling inputs are decision variables and numbers represent degrees of freedom of the system. Decision variables change during the optimization process, but the parameters are fixed, but some parameters, are dependent parameters which is determined on the amount of basis of the decision variables. The variables which are specified in Table 4, are selected as the decision variables. In order to stay in the recovery boiler circuit, the gas turbine load is considered higher than 55%. Using thermoflow and EES software and range change in environmental conditions, according to the decision of the six variables in Table 1 and also taking into account the load percentage of the gas turbine in the range of 55 to 100% has been obtained. Firefly algorithm. Firefly optimization algorithm or FA for short is inspired of the natural behavior of fireflies which live together in large collections, and was introduced for the first time in late 2008 by Xin-She Yang [14], this multi-agent algorithms can be a solution of hard optimization problem and it is a very efficient algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems. In summary, the performance of the algorithm is that the number of artificial fireflies (initial population) are randomly distributed in the range and then emits light of a firefly which intensity is MMSE Journal.

proportional to the amount of optimality point Firefly is that it is located. The light intensity of each firefly regularly intensity compared to other fireflies and fireflies brighter too faint to be absorbed. At the same time the brightest fireflies also aims to increase the chances of finding the optimal solution is the global accidentally move. In this algorithm, exchange information with each other through the light emission occurs. The composition of this combined action makes the overall trend towards a more efficient is fireflies.

Optimization Results. Given the equations required optimization objective functions according to the decision made and the six variables in MATLAB fireflies algorithm code was used to optimize the objective function. The primary population for the first generation is considered 200. In the multi-objective optimization instead of an optimal point, we have an optimal solution that is optimized to the famous pareto point and the set of these points are called pareto front. Figure 8 shows the pareto front of the optimization objective functions, including optimal points. As can be seen by increasing the efficiency of the gas cycle exergy, it also increases annual costs.

Selection the desired optimization of energy systems based on multi-objective optimization decision-making ideas happen after the search. Each individual decision-maker may be due to considerations in mind, their own scenario is to select the optimal point. Pareto front of the optimization objective function shows that the costs for the six months is considered. The results, show minimal costs during the year should be paid for a certain exergy efficiency, and most exergy efficiency that can be achieved for a certain fee during the year. Figure 9 shows the net profit for the six months according to exergy efficiency. Net profit, the difference between the proceeds from the sale of electricity and the cost of the cycle ( C Tot ) is obtained. The price of electricity purchased from power plants 0.15 Dollar/kWh is considered [13]. Pareto front of net profit of the previous stage results are plotted in Figure 9.

Summary. The main goal of this study was to evaluate and improve the performance of gas cycle power plant in different environmental conditions. The analysis results show that the greatest destruction exergy of gas cycle power plant is happening in the combustion chamber. That reason is high temperature difference between the temperature of the flame and fluid. Much of this destruction exergy is inevitable that cannot be reduced, so exergy efficiency of power plants has been studied and other ways use to reduce the exergy destruction. Firefly algorithm has been optimization algorithm in gas cycle power plant. Objective functions are exergy efficiency and cost, cost include the gas cycle maintenance costs, fuel cost and the cost of exergy demolition, highest efficiency exergy and lowest cost are requirements. The results show that by increasing the efficiency of the gas cycle exergy, its cost also increased. Lower temperature reduces emissions and steam quality in the recovery boiler and steam turbine power output is reduced as a result. To remedy this problem, the use of gas turbine exhaust duct burner is recommended. In this case, the temperature of the exhaust gas from the turbine should exceed the temperature of HRSG design. The study achievements can be cite to use of meta-heuristic algorithm in large search space, nonlinear variables and objective functions such as firefly algorithm. Because that limited studies have been done for examine ability and capabilities of this algorithms, this study is an opportunity to investigate the algorithm and its ability. Multi-objective optimization process has its own challenges and advantages. In the multi-objective optimization not only efficiency but also exergy cycle costs, including the cost of repair and maintenance, the cost of fuel and the cost of destruction exergy have been studied. Time-consuming optimization process is very important. Less computational time and iteration means less computational cost, by using of the optimal response of optimization algorithm, the net power output of the gas cycle power plants by as much as 11.15 and 8.08 percent, energy efficiency and exergy cycle gas 3.64 and 3.61 respectively percent and air emissions, 0.77 percent decrease. This study also examines changes in environmental conditions and levels of load on the gas cycle power plant, Technical and economic assessment, energy and exergy analysis using the

first and second law of thermodynamics can be mentioned. As well as alternative ways to reduce destruction exergy and increase exergy efficiency are reviewed. Thermoflow Software can calculate the pollutions of the turbine gas output. It is suggested that the impact of changing load levels and the effect of cooling system of air entering to compressor will be investigated in order to predict exhaust pollutions of gas turbines.
