Thermal power plat has the following merits and demerits:
Advantages:
- Fuel used is cheaper
- Smaller space is required compared to hydro power plant
- Economical in initial cost compared to hydro plants and running costs are less compared to gas plants or diesel plants
- Thermal plants can be placed near load centers unlike hydro and nuclear plants. Hence transmission of power losses can be minimized
- Thermal plants are able to respond to the load demand more effectively and supports the performance of the electrical grid
- Steam plants can withstand for overload for certain extent
Disadvantages:
- Higher maintenance and operational costs
- Pollution of the atmosphere
- Huge requirement of water
- Handling of coal and disposal of ash is quite difficult and requires large area
- Gestation period (period for commissioning of plant) takes long time
- Efficiency of thermal plant is quite less (30-35%)
- Operational cost of thermal plant is more costlier compared to hydro and nuclear plant

Tq for ur favorable answer
Thank u so much for this
Little bit helpful
Thanks for giving much information about thermal power plants
Nice Post!
However when I came across nconturbines.com in India, I got to know all the good quality Turbines at best price So, I recommend going for it.
