Power Plant Efficiency

Energy is the most important requirement for the growth and development of a nation since it is the basic necessity for every sector. The most common form of energy used is electricity. Electricity is the form of energy that is used both commercially and non-commercially. Thus, generation of electricity is the most significant requirement. Thermal electric power generation is one of the major methods for generation of electricity. But generation of electricity is it enough. It has to be done in the most effective and efficient manner. Owing to acute importance of electricity, it is important that it is done in the most efficient manner so that losses are minimized, outputs are maximized, optimum utilization of resources is done and reduction in the overall cost of the power plant can be achieved. Such outputs are even more important in the present era where sustainable development has become the most important requirement. The present research will analyze the factors affecting efficiency of a power plant. The study will further analyze the effect of operational practices & choice of fuel on efficiency of thermal power plant and the technologies available for improving the thermal power plant efficiency. The research will analyze the ways to optimize the thermal power plant through review based and theoretical analysis. The present research will be a review based work wherein an in depth analyses of the existing literature will be done. The conceptual model thus formed from the review will then be verified through qualitative analysis using thematic analysis method. The respondents (N=8) will be acclaimed professors and research associates in the field of thermal energy. Based on the findings from the review and qualitative analysis, conclusion will be drawn and discussion will be presented wherein all the research questions will be answered. Finally, the future prospective based on the present research will be presented.

Abstract Present paper considers nonlinear trend analysis for diagnostics and predictive maintenance. The subject is a device from Maritsa East 2 thermal power plant a mill fan. The choice of the given power plant is not occasional. This is the largest thermal power plant on the Balkan Peninsula. Mill fans are main part of the fuel preparation in the coal fired power plants. The possibility to predict eventual damages or wear out without switching off the device is significant for providing faultless and reliable work avoiding the losses caused by planned maintenance. This paper addresses the needs of the Maritsa East 2 Complex aiming to improve the ecological parameters of the electro energy production process.

Introduction. Coal heat power stations are characterized by severe hazardous eff ect of occupational environment on workers. Objective. To analyze chromosomal disorders in workers of thermal power plant working on coal from Kuznetsk coal fi eld (West Siberia). Materials and methods. Th e authors studied level and specter of chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes of 185 workers of Kemerovo thermal power plant and 218 inhabitants of the same location, not working on industrial enterprises (Kemerovo, Russia). For every individual, average number of 200 metaphase plates of high quality was analyzed. Results. Findings are that the workers of thermal power plant have levels of chromosomal aberrations signifi cantly higher than those of reference group (3,01±0,13% vs. 1,45±0,08%; р<0,00001). With that, increased frequency is seen both for chromatid aberrations and for chromosomal ones — that indicates complex exposure to chemical and radiation factors. Conclusions. Th e results obtained necessitate elaboration of measures to decrease genotoxic hazards in the occupational environment.
