Abstract—This research work is based on 120MW thermal power plant which has five major components. The components are–steam turbine, condenser, feed water heaters and boiler. Each component is having its own importance and it effects the performance of power plant. In this research work component wise thermodynamic/exergy analysis is done. For analysis, more general software is designed. By this software, thermodynamic/exergy analysis is performed at different inlet pressure conditions of steam and identified conditions at which the performance of the plant is best. This software also helps to develop correction factor curves for power and heat rate at different inlet pressure conditions.
