Abstract
In today’s world, the electricity is mostly generated by steam power plant. The main working fluid of steam power plant is water, and water is easily available on earth. To increase the effectiveness of steam power plant the solar energy could be use which is one of the most available source of renewable energy. The availability of solar energy is free of cost which means the external energy we provided to heat the fluid will not increase the running cost of power plant. This paper establishes that the efficiency of a steam power plant can be enhanced by integrating solar energy to increase the temperature of the feed water entering the boiler. As a result, the amount of fuel needed to heat the feed water inside the boiler to produce steam is reduced.
