ABSTRACT
Increasing demand of power has made keen
interest of study to improve the efficiency of Thermal
power stations. This project deals with the study of
various losses in CFBC boilers and its auxiliary
equipment's by performing theoretical energy audit in
500 MW TPS. There by identifying the energy saving
potential in boiler and its auxiliaries and to implement
required actions to improve the efficiency of the CFBC
boiler which in turn increases the overall plant
efficiency .

OBJECTIVES
To perform the theoretical energy audit for the
respective 500 MW capacity CFBC boiler and its
auxiliary equipment's.
To identify and study the key factors for improving
the energy efficiency of a CFBC boiler.
To explore the various areas in which the waste heat
can be recovered and used.
