Thermodynamic Analysis of A Modern Power Plant
Efficiency of Danish Coal-Fired Power Plants Continuous development resulted around the mid 80's in an average efficiency of 38% for all power stations, and best values of 43%. In the second half of the 1990’s, a Danish power plant set a world record at 47%.
Average efficiency, specific coal usage, CO2 emissions h Indian Coal Plants: Efficiency of modern coal power plant = 34-36% Efficiency of old power plant = 20-30%
