Abstract: In this research work thermodynamic analysis of 50 MW Panipat coal thermal power plants has been carried out by using an energy and exergy analysis method at design load conditions. The exergy analysis of a power plant deals with the analysis of energy on the basis of quantity only however the energy analysis deals with the analysis of energy on the basis of quantity as well as quality. The aim of present research work is to conduct an energy and exergy analysis of the major components of a coal thermal power plant like boiler, turbine, and condenser and pump in order to identify the magnitude and location of real energy efficiency. The temperature and pressure of main stream and the condenser pressure are considered as operating parameters. From the study it is observed that the major contribution of energy efficiency is found in pump of 94.56% followed boiler of about 87.% and condenser of 59.67%. The major exergy efficiency is found in the pump of 9.9% followed by turbine of 5.33% and condenser of 3.40% of the total exergy supplied. Keywords: Exergy; Energy; Thermal power plant; Energy efficiency; Exergy efficiency. I. INTRODUCTION The panipat thermal power station (PTPS) is fully operated by Haryana power generation corporation limited (HPGC) as it is wholly owned by the state government of Haryana under the Ministry of power (Government of India). Panipat Thermal Power Station was a designated consumer in the state of Haryana, under management of HPGC. HPGC was incorporated as company on 7 March 997 but it came existence on 4 August, 998 and given the responsibility of operating and maintenance of state own power generating plant and projects. Currently, it had six power station and project situated at panipat, Yamuna Nagar, Hisar and Jhajjar districts []. Fig.Photographic view of panipat thermal power plant PTPS is the major coal based and first power station installed in the Haryana by the HPGC. The plant is located at village Assan which is KM away from the city. Total present installed capacity of the power plant 360MW in six stages as given in the table.

PTPS draws water from right main canal through an intake channel to meet its water requirement. The primary fuel input to the plant is coal which is taken from Jhariya and Raniganj Mines. PTPS disposes bottom ash to the nearest ash pond in slurry form and the dry fly ash to the nearby cement industries and fly ash traders []. The project detail of PTPS is given in table.
