Electricity is the output of a power plant and it is the measurement of development of a country. Efficiency can be increased by reducing the loss of destruction of exergy taking place mostly in boiler and turbine of a power plant. So Bio mass and biogas, eliminating the use of Indian coal will definitely save exergy destruction and also reduce greenhouse gases in the environment. Also by increasing pressure and temperature of steam using supercritical boiler will increase efficiency of thermal power plant
