Energy, Exergyand Energy Audit Analysis of Vijayawada Thermal Power Station

Vijayawada 210MW coal-based thermal power plant's energy and exergy analyses were conducted to assess the energetic and exegetic efficiencies and losses of various parts and the plant's general scheme. This coal-fired power plant, which consumes approximately 2,000 metric tons of coal, produces approximately 170 MW to 180 MW of electricity every day against installation ability of 210 mw the supply of energy to demand is declining throughout the world day by day. The increasing demand for energy has made power plants of science concern, but most power plants are built solely by the vigorous performance criteria based on the First Thermodynamics Law. The actual useful loss of energy cannot be justified by thermodynamics ' First Law because it does not distinguish between the quality and amount of energy. Thus, this current research deals with the comparison of coal-based thermal power plants electricity and exergy analyses. For calculation purposes, the entire plant cycle was divided into three areas: (1) only the turbo-generator with its inlets and outlets, (2) turbo-generator, condenser, feed pumps and regenerative heaters, (3) the entire cycle of boilers, turbochargers, condenser
