| Abstract | In this paper, it is proposed a genetic algorithms procedure for solving optimal geothermal plant design where choices on the type of components to be used and their assembly configuration are driven by reliability objective with the economic costs associated to the design implementation, system construction and future operation. We also present the result of our implementation. |
