This paper describes the results of energy conservation measures in various thermal power
plants spread over the country. Energy savings in various major auxiliaries are summarized
here with improved performance. Staggering of auxiliary loads, reduction in hydrodynamic
resistance of pipes and ducts, adoption of new energy efficient technologies, efficient control
techniques, reduction in furnace ingress and monitoring of coal size at mill inlets will lead to
substantial amount of energy savings. The energy conservation schemes are economically …

This paper describes the results of energy conservation measures for 210 MW coal fired
power plant in various thermal power plants spread over the country. Energy efficiency
improvement of major auxiliary equipment with different plant load factors are summarized
here with improved performance. The effect of plant load factor on all major auxiliary
equipment and suggestions for improving the performance of auxiliary equipment are
discussed in this paper. Operating the plant at optimum excess air, controlling the furnace …
