Performance Improvement of AFBC Boiler through Analysis of Heat Losses

Electricity is essential in the economic development of any nation. Due to rapid growth of economy and industrial development in India, the demand for use of electricity has increased rapidly. Power generation capacity in India is 70 percent thermal, with the remaining being hydro and nuclear. Thermal generation is mainly based on steam generation using a coal-fired boiler. This paper deals with the determination of efficiency of boiler and calculates the heat losses in Suryalakshmi thermal power plant, Nagardhan of 25 MW unit and try to give some suggestions to reduce heat losses. Power Plant play very important role in improving the economic condition, competitive advantage, life style, of people in any country. The understanding of the structure, i.e., system and connectivity between different systems and It is useful for estimating the contribution of different attributes of the performance of the system. Any Production system should be kept failure free under the given operative conditions to achieve the set goals of economical production and long run performance. A highly reliable system tends of increases the efficiency of production. Efficient power generation is expected to make more power available at a lower cost.
