What is a Thermal Power Plant and How it Works? Site Location, Efficiency, Advantages & Disadvantages and Components of a Thermal Power Plant.
This document provides an overview of a thermal power plant. It begins by classifying power plants by their fuel sources and prime movers. It then introduces thermal power plants, explaining that they convert the heat energy of coal into electrical energy using a boiler to produce steam that drives a turbine connected to a generator.
Thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of heat equivalent mechanical energy available at the turbine to the heat energy available at the combustion of coal in the boiler. The thermal efficiency of the thermal power plants is 30% approx. Most of the heat energy (approx. 50%) is wasted in the condenser.
The overall efficiency of the power plant is defined as the ratio of heat equivalent of electrical output to the heat of combustion (about 29%). The losses that occurred in the thermal power plant at various stages are as follows. Boiler House Losses: (a) To dry flue gases 5%. (b) To moisture in gases 5%.

Overview of Thermal Power Plants. 1) A boiler produces steam by heating water with a fuel source like coal, gas or oil. The steam is used to generate power via steam turbines or for industrial processes and building heating. 2) A typical thermal power plant has a coal handling plant to feed coal into the boiler furnace.
This configuration ensures high thermal efficiency, as the cost per unit of power generated is lower than that of oil-fired thermal power. It is used to provide the base-to-middle-load supply. Power stations employing combined-cycle power generation. Himeji No. 1 Power Station (Unit Nos. 5 & 6) Himeji No. 2 Power Station (Unit Nos. 1 ~ 6)
Based on the fuel used in a power plant to produce electrical energy, there are several types of power plants, such as thermal power plants, nuclear power plants,
In general, the number of stages of the feed water heater is 4–5 stages for 20–50 MW, 5–6 stages for 50–100 MW, 5–7 stages for 100–200 MW, and 6–8 stages for 200 MW or more. 3.4.5. Reheat cycle. Increasing the reheat steam pressure and temperature improves the thermal efficiency of the Rankine cycle.
The rotor of a modern steam turbine used in a power plant. A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884. Fabrication of a modern steam turbine involves advanced metalwork to form high-grade
