We use Hybrid GSA algorithm is developed by combining the good characteristic of two existing non-traditional optimization algorithms namely genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). GA and SA algorithms are both independently valid approaches with certain strengths and weaknesses. Out of this GA is best for finding global optimum solution and SA is good for finding local optimum solution. This Hybrid GSA algorithm used for design optimization of natural draft wet cooling tower. The hybrid GSA problem is formulated so as to Minimizing the total annual cost and that consists of fixed charges plus operating costs. The results obtained using proposed algorithm is compared with those obtained by using GA and SA individually as well as Leap-frog Optimization Program with Constraints (LFOPC) optimization algorithm model result.
