Abstract:To ensure the safe, stable and economical operation of indirect dry cooling (IDC) power plant, the optimization and design software of indirect dry cooling system is developed through minimum annual total cost method. The programming ideas, configuration and framework, research strategies, implementation steps and calculation methods on hot end, cold end and tower shape optimization software of indirect dry cooling system are introduced. The correctness is validated by real IDC engineering projects.
