This paper reports the results of energy analysis of two 210 MW coal‐fired thermal power stations located a good distance apart. A new and simple method for evaluation of thermal efficiency has been presented. Measures for improvement in plant performance in the coal, air, water and steam circuits as well as auxiliary power and secondary oil have been depicted, based on the analysis and existing field conditions.
