Thermal power station Wikipedia
The energy efficiency of a conventional thermal power station is defined as saleable energy produced as a percent of the heating value of the fuel consumed. A simple cycle gas turbine achieves energy conversion efficiencies from 20 to 35%. Typical coalbased power plants operating at steam pressures of 170 bar and 570 °C run at efficiency of 35 to 38 %, with stateoftheart fossil fuel ...
