摘要：Energy requirement increases day by day. Thermal power plants are the measure sources of energy forelectricity generation. They are also the measure polluter of the environment. In order to reduce environmentalpollution either energy consumption should be reduced or energy should be generated with higher conversionefficiency. In thermal power plants part of energy generated by the plants is being consumed by different auxiliaries.The power consumption by these auxiliaries is very high due to poor operation or bad design of the equipment’s. Thereare two different ways to improve the efficiency either by efficient operation or by facility conversion. The pumps andcompressors are the main auxiliaries which consumes sizable power produced by thermal power plants. Here anattempt is made to improve the efficiency of above mention auxiliaries. To improve the performance of the pumps themethod of De-staging has been adopted and in-depth study has been done through simulation. Before modificationsactual data are collected for pumps. Power and efficiency are calculated and same are compared with ideal valuesreported in supplier manuals. On the basis of discrepancies in above data, methods for performance improvements aresuggested.
