Energy Audit as an Effective Tool for Energy Conservation in Thermal Power Plant

In the current situation, the greater part of the power produced all through the world is from steam power plants. In this manner, it is critical to guarantee that the plants are working with most extreme efficiency. In India connecting the ever widening hole between energy request and supply by expanding supply is a costly choice. The offers of energy expenses altogether creation expenses can, in this manner enhance benefit levels in every one of the commercial enterprises. This lessening can be accomplished by enhancing the productivity of modern industrial operations and equipment. Energy Audit assumes a critical part in distinguishing energy conservation opportunities in the mechanical area, while they don't give the last response to the issue. Here selected plant is one of the Indian coal based thermal power plant having capacity of 130MW (2×67.5MW) generation. By performing an energy audit found that great opportunity for the energy conservation in the thermal power plant. From the energy audit found that coal saving about 19779.3 MT annually from the boiler operating system, energy saving 678731 kWh annually from the FD fan and 391920 kWh annually in lighting area.
