This paper is concerned with calculating boiler efficiency as one of the mostimportant types of performance measurement in any steam power plant. Thermal power plantconverts the chemical energy of the coal into electricity. The heat rate of a conventional coalfired power plant is a measure of how efficiently it converts the chemical energy contained inthe fuel into electrical energy Heat rate is expressed as kcal/kwh. The aim of monitoringboiler performance is to control the heat rate of plant. This paper deals with determination ofoperating efficiency of Boiler and calculates major losses for GSECL 210 MW unit in India.
