Waste Heat Recovery of Gandhinagar Thermal Power Station

The world is facing the challenge of global warming and environment protection. On the other hand, the demand of electricity is growing fast due to economic growth and increase in demand. This thesis presents a literature review and detailed study of waste heat recovery system of the coal fired thermal power station. After studying and analysis more important thing is to optimize the efficiency with implementation of suggestion, which will be suggested by completion of this study, if there any. In this work the efficiency analysis of fuel used, boiler, turbine. Author had analytical calculation of the plant efficiency is found, in stack there is heat loss and heat utilizing in TMC will increase make up water temperature rise. After modification plant efficiency is calculated. The membrane based TMC technology was originally developed, demonstrated and commercialized for industrial steam boiler waste heat and water recovery. A recovery of the exhaust water vapor and an increase such extent in efficiency have been predicted. Several TMC waste heat recovery systems have been in operation in full-scale, industrial applications to document these savings. For applying the TMC technology to power plant use, detailed coal power plant information was collected and analyzed, including flue gas parameters, steam condensate and cooling water parameters, and potential demineralized water usage in a power plant. These method is Eco friendly because reduced flue gas temperature, coal consumption had reduced and potential saving.
