- Abstract
Steam power plant is one of plant of electricity needs that has great potential in energy supply and is an alternative to electricity needs in Indonesia. This study reviews the thermal performance of a steam power plant’s condenser, focusing on its exergy efficiency and heat transfer rate over five different days. The results show a significant increase in exergy efficiency on day four, reaching 78.3% with a heat transfer rate of 175.39 kW. The lowest exergy efficiency was found on the first day of data collection, with a value of 32% and a heat transfer rate of 191.40 kW. This highlights the importance of condenser performance in achieving optimal energy efficiency. The heat transfer rate and exergy Condenser are affected by factors the cooling water temperature as coolant inlet fluid and the exhaust steam temperature as condensate outlet fluid.
