Production Process of Steam Power Plant and Calculation of Thermal Efficiency: Case Study of Teluk Sirih Steam Power Plant

The performance of a power plant can be known from the calculation efficiency in generating sector. Steam plants utilize series energy conversion processes including: chemical into thermal when extracting heat coal as fuel to boilers, mechanical turbines and electrical generators. Like other steam plants, Teluk Sirih PLTU located Bungus Kabung, West Sumatra has same production process. it's just that source water is taken sea so it requires special treatment turn suitable for producing used this plant. electricity process will explained study an with simple Rankine cycle carried out determine From results, 29%. Based on results these calculations, Telusk classified good efficiency.
