In this research, first, modeling and analysis of energy and exergy for all components of the combined cycle of Montazer Ghaem power plant in the design conditions have been carried out, and then the effect of the use of the windbreak wall on the performance of the cooling tower and the power of the combined cycle has been investigated. According to the results From the exergy analysis, the most exergy destruction is in the combustion chamber and then in the recovery boiler. The results show an increase in the power of the combined cycle due to the use of windbreak walls. In the end, an economic analysis was done for the plan of using windbreak walls in three cases of using windbreak walls for one tower, for two towers and for three towers for a period of 25 years. In all three plans, the amount of net present value is positive and the internal interest rate is above 90% and the investment return time is between 14 and 16 months.
