The coal GCV varies from 3300 to 3700 kcal/kg against the design GCV of 5000 kcal/kg. Based on the data collected and model simulation variation of boiler efficiency performance at a test run of 1 hour period is shown in Figure 5. The average boiler efficiency was found to be 84.88 %. 7 Performance Improvement of Pulverized Coal Fired Thermal…

 — 20. 13.1.Fineness Fineness is an indicator of the quality of the pulverizer action. Specifically, fineness is a measurement of the percentage of a coal sample that passes through a set of test sieves usually designated at 50, 100, and 200 mesh A 70% coal sample passing through a 200 mesh screen indicates optimum mill performance. …

about ash percentages in different coal, mill performance, and pollution generation. They concluded that 50% ash content in coal mill could increase power by 7.2% than the designed power. 1.2 Plant load factor improvement Mandi and Yaragatti [11] had studied energy efficiency on 210 MW coal-fired power plants and concluded that the

 — The performance rating was conducted in compliance with the statistical principles. The data for this analysis were obtained for a TPP with an installed capacity of 375MW during a span of 8 ...

 — Power plant performance and reliability are greatly influenced by the coal mill. To avoid abnormal operating conditions of coal mills in time and effectively, a dual fault warning method for coal mill is proposed. Three typical faults of coal mill plugging, coal breakage and deflagration are warned by this method.
