Heat rate study in thermal power plant / Zahrom Mohd Khalid

The considerable rise in electricity demand has resulted in big capital investment for new power plants. This expansion, coupled with the escalating cost of fuel, spare parts, labour etc., have imposed an increasingly urgent need to ensure that the existing plants are operated and maintained as near...

The term 'efficiency' is commonly used when quantifying plant performance and 'heat rate' is less favourable. Therefore, performance monitoring is usually based on efficiency calculation.
