Thermax Limited Assistant Shift Incharge Interview Questions and Answers

Turbine heat rate is the amount of fuel energy input required to produce a unit of electrical energy output.

• It is a measure of the efficiency of a power plant's steam turbine.

• Lower heat rate indicates higher efficiency.

• Heat rate is typically measured in British thermal units (BTUs) per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Plant efficiency is calculated by dividing the actual output by the maximum possible output and multiplying by 100.

• Determine the maximum possible output of the plant

• Measure the actual output of the plant

• Divide the actual output by the maximum possible output

• Multiply the result by 100 to get the efficiency percentage

• Efficiency = (Actual Output / Maximum Possible Output) x 100
