Usage of conventional energy resources has high limitations and constrains now a days. The thermal efficiency of the equipments in the modern thermal based power plant is mandatory for effective power generation with low production cost and pollution. The systems and equipments in the thermal power plant should be operated with optimum efficiency. An assessment of these system performance and comparing it with the design value is necessary for its improvement. This paper presents the findings of the observations and trials carried out on thermal power plant energy equipments. The main objective of this work is to assess the performance of various thermal power plant systems in respect of efficiency and determining the main factors which contribute to the efficacy of the power plant by indirect method. Further, suitable measures are recommended to enhance the energy performance with cost benefits. While making the measurements, care is taken to maintain the accuracy and wherever any discrepancy is found, the readings were again taken to ensure the best possible results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
