Description
Summary:This paper investigates energy and exergy analyses of 660 MW capacity supercritical coal power plant with single reheat and regenerative. The fuel utilized in the plant is a combination of sub‐bituminous and lignite coal. It is found that the turbine section of the system exhibits the highest energy efficiency (around 94.17%) and exergy efficiency (around 90.73%). Also, 82.07% of the total exergy destruction is found for the boiler, and the remaining 17.93% of the irreversibility is determined for the turbine, condenser, and other components. The overall cycle energy efficiency at maximum load is computed as 40.77%, while the overall cycle exergy efficiency at maximum load is found to be 39.69%. These findings provide valuable insights into the performance of the power plant and suggest the improvements needed in performance enhancement of the boiler.
