The first law analysis of the coal fired thermal power station namelyGandhinagar Thermal Power Station (GTPS).In research paper, a detailed energy study isshown for 210MW, of coal fired thermal power plant at Gandhinagar Thermal Power Station(GTPS) to evaluate the plant and subsystem [feed water heaters (high pressure and lowpressure)],etc. efficiencies. Cycle efficiency and heat rate are calculated usingthermodynamic relation after estimating the various heat losses in the boilers, turbine andgenerator. Researcher gives suggestion for reduced heat losses in different components ofpower plant by applying Transport Membrane Condenser (TMC) in between boiler andcondenser. Using TMC system which gives collect energy of flue gases and heated waterdirectly bled in boiler which increase boiler efficiency.
