1.

APH PERFORMANCE
i.(corrected temp for air lkg.)Tgnl = Tgout + [% air leakage x Cpa x (Tgo – Tai)]
100 x Cpg
Cpa- Specific heat of Air(0.24), Cpg- Specific heat of gas (0.242)
ii. Gas Side Efficiency
ɳ = Tgi – Tgnl Tgi- Flue gas i/l temp., Tgo- Flue gas o/l temp
Tgi- Tai
iii. X- ratio = (Tgi-Tgnl)
(Tao-Tai)
iv. Air Leakage = O2 out – O2 in x 100
21 – O2 out
2. CONDENSER PERFORMANCE
i. TTD = Condensate sat. temp – CW outlet temp.

ii. Condenser Effectiveness = CW outlet Temp – CW inlet Temp


Condensate sat. Temp – CW inlet Temp
3. HPH PERFORMANCE

TTD = Extraction Steam saturation Temp - Feed Water outlet Temp


DCA = Drip Temp – Feed Water inlet Temp

4. NDCT PERFORMANCE
Effectiveness = Range
Range + Approach
Range = CW inlet Temp – CW outlet Temp.
Approach = CW outlet Temp. – WBT Temp.

5. Turbine Efficiency =
HPT Efficiency = HPT inlet enthalpy – HPT exhaust enthalpy
HPT inlet enthalpy – HPT exhaust isentropic enthalpy

IPT Efficiency = IPT inlet enthalpy – IPT exhaust enthalpy


IPT inlet enthalpy – IPT exhaust isentropic enthalpy
6. PLF
MERC = Generation – APC x 100 CEA = Generation x 100
11.28 x no. of days 12 x [Link] days
7. AVF
MERC = Declared Capacity x 100 CEA = Total running hrs. x 100
470 x no. of days 24 x [Link] days

8. LOADABILITY = PLF (CEA) x 100


AVF (CEA)
9. HEAT RATE
Heat Rate = (Coal Consumption x Coal CV) + ( Oil Consumption x oil cv x Oil Density)
Total Generation
10. Specific Coal Consumption = Coal consumption
Actual generation
11. Specific Oil Consumption = oil consumption/actual generation
