This research aims to improve the thermal and economic performance of an inclined cascade solar still by increasing distilled water productivity and reducing production cost. The novelty of this study lies in the optimization of two design parameters, the number of baffles in the absorber plate and the insulation thickness, which have not yet been investigated in the literature. A parametric sensitivity analysis based on a Central Composite Design and used a CFD Model was conducted to evaluate the effect of these parameters on system performance. Simulations results of nine numerical experiences are then exploited to determine the optimal values using a multi-objective optimization approach combining Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). The optimization results show that an insulation thickness of 100 mm and the10 baffles placed in the absorber plate provide the best compromise, achieving a daily productivity of 11.58 kg/m<sup>2</sup>d and a distilled water cost of 0.0088 $/kg.

The thermal radiation characteristics of biomass directly influence its ability to capture and utilize solar radiation; however, previous studies often simplified biomass as a gray body, neglecting the complex physicochemical transformations occurring during pyrolysis and gasification that substantially alter its radiative properties. To address this gap, this study employed a self-developed platform for indirect emittance measurement to investigate three biomass samples. Samples representing different reaction stages of pyrolysis and gasification were prepared, and their spectral emittance was measured across the solar radiation waveband (0.3–2.5 μm). The results indicate that as the pyrolysis temperature increased, the total solar absorptance of biomass samples increased sharply from 0.49 to 0.90, thereby significantly enhancing their radiative absorption capacity. Ash content exhibited a pronounced inhibitory effect on emittance, particularly during gasification, where the high-ash wheat sample (29.44 %) displayed the lowest emittance. During gasification, all samples maintained high absorption capacity, with the emittance ranged from 0.87 to 0.93 in 0.3–2.5 μm. Based on the observed influences of reaction stage, ash content, and wavelength on emittance, two sixth-order emittance models were developed for pyrolysis and gasification. These models achieved low prediction errors of 1.20 × 10<sup>−3</sup> and 4.05 × 10<sup>−5</sup>, respectively.

However, improper operation patterns of the sootblower can cause damage to boiler pipes. If the sootblower is operated too infrequently, slagging and fouling buildup on the pipes will increase. Conversely, operating the sootblower too frequently can lead to excessive use of steam and potential erosion of the pipe surfaces. By optimizing sootblower operation using machine learning, a more targeted operating pattern can be achieved in accordance with the cleanliness factor target. This optimization can reduce the average sootblower operating frequency by two times across all boiler areas and decrease steam consumption by 54 tons per day or 1,681.53 tons per month. It also helps achieve the heat rate target according to the 2022 baseline and reduce NOx emission.
