What Is The Overall Efficiency Of The Thermal Power Plant Or Steam Power Plant? |
|
Answer» Overall efficiency of the SYSTEM is DEFINED as the ratio of heat equivalent of electrical OUTPUT to the heat of combustion. Generally Overall efficiency of the steam plant will always be less than the THERMAL efficiency of the steam plant, it will be of the order of 29-33%. Overall efficiency of steam plant is determined by multiplying the thermal efficiency of the plant with efficiency of the generator (electrical efficiency).
