Abstract

In this paper exergy analysis method has been applied to analyse a 350MW thermal power plant which is firedusing commercial Indian bituminous coal. The analysis and comparison of performance of various major components of the plant is discussed. In the exergy analysis one can present qualitative results about actual energy consumption and the energy potential loss due to irreversibility during the cycle by determining originof exergy loss thus, providing a much clearer picture. It also presents major losses of available energy, secondlaw efficiency and exergy destruction at all sections of the system as well as equipment wise also..
