Almost 50% of the heat generated is lost at the condenser as heat rejection. It is unavoidable as with
out heat rejection it is not possible to convert heat energy into mechanical energy and drive the
turbine without drop in temperature. Therefore majority of the loss takes place in the condenser.
Thus efficiency of the thermal power plant is between 30-35%.
By increasing the temperature and pressure of the steam entering the turbine
Thermal Power Plants can be operated near the load centers unlike hydro and nuclear
plants
Requires less space compared to hydro plants and cost of construction is less
Disadvantages:
Efficiency is low
Hammer mill
