Abstract: 
This paper presents a multi-criteria economics, environment, and thermodynamics assessment for a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system consist of a heat recovery system, a small absorption chiller, a 5kW PEMFC stack, gas compressor, and a humidifier. This study presents an improved version of a new optimization technique called improved emperor penguin optimization (IEPO) algorithm for optimizing the system efficiency. After simulations, the system is analyzed in terms of energy and exergy efficiencies, annual cost, and pollutant emission reduction. Simulation results declare low operating temperature develop GHG emission reduction, high relative humidity, pressure of inlet gases, and system exergy performance. The results of the IEPO algorithm are the compared with the standard EPO and also NSGA-II as a widely used optimization algorithm for showing the superiority of the algorithm.
