- 3. 3 ABSTRACT The main aim of this project is to study a Thermal Power Plant. Electricity is the only form of energy, which is easy to produce, easy to transport, easy to use and easy to control. So, it is mostly the terminal form of energy for transmission and distribution. Electricity consumption per capita is the index of the living standard of people of a place or country. Electricity in bulk quantities is produced in power plants. Thermal Power Plant is one of them, generating more than 80% of the total electricity produced in the world. Fossil fuels, viz. coal, fuel oil, and natural gas are the energy sources, and steam is the working fluid. This project aims at closely studying a modern pulverized coal-fired electricity generation unit named a Power Plant that uses the most commonly employed Rankine-based thermodynamic cycle. To increase efficiency, the Rankine Cycle is modified with the Reheat Cycle, the Regenerative Cycle or with the Reheat-Regenerative Cycle. Here, in this power plant, only the Regenerative Cycle has been adopted to increase efficiency. This power plant has a total capacity of 135 MW, with two units each of the capacity of 67.5MW. Its boiler capacity is 77MW.
