However, few studies have considered simultaneously environmental and economic objectives in the multi-objective analysis process. This study conducts a layout comparison and parameter optimization of the systems under the above two objectives. Initially, the thermodynamic, environmental, and economic models of the systems are established. Subsequently, the optimal layout is determined by the two-stage layout comparison. Further, multi-objective optimization is performed for the selected layout, and the optimal design parameters are determined by the decision process. Finally, the sensitivities of three selected parameters to the optimization results are analyzed. The results show that the basic layout coupled with overlap and intercooling schemes is optimal. Its ultimate environmental impact (UEI) and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) are 219.8 kp-eq and 56.9 USD\/MWh, respectively. The two objectives UEI and LCOE are conflicting. Based on a trade-off between them, the maximum temperature\/pressure of the system is determined to be 635.3 \u00b0C\/30.1 MPa. The coal price per unit of heat shows the highest sensitivity, and the pinch temperature difference of the recuperator shows opposite sensitivities at the UEI below 218 kp-eq and above 223 kp-eq.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24081123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]],"date-time":"2022-08-15T20:58:08Z","timestamp":1660597088000},"page":"1123","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Layout Comparison and Parameter Optimization of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Coal-Fired Power Generation Systems under Environmental and Economic Objectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Dongxu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]},{"given":"Zhonghe","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Low Carbon and High Efficiency Power Generation Technology, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]},{"given":"Yaping","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]},{"given":"Dongyang","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]},{"given":"Linfei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7160-179X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Low Carbon and High Efficiency Power Generation Technology, North China Electric Power University, Baoding 071003, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103089","DOI":"10.1016\/j.est.2021.103089","article-title":"Thermodynamic and economic performance analysis of heat and power cogeneration system based on advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage coupled with solar auxiliary heat","volume":"42","author":"Li","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
