Abstract: 
Boiler efficiency "The percentage of the total suction heating value of the output steam to the total supply heating value."
The main objective of thermal power plants is to meet the energy needs of the market and meet these requirements; Factories need technical availability with parts reliability and maintenance strategies.
The current energy situation in India strongly supports the economic security, stability and future development of the country and the social and economic well-being of the people, all of which depend on the wise use of available domestic resources and imported energy. Increasing energy demand. Our future lies in taking extreme measures to combat energy waste caused by the use of inadequate equipment and poor work practices.
The industrial and commercial sector of any economy is its pillar. Since they are the main energy users and are few in number, they are easy to approach and target. Thus, they offer a significant opportunity to save considerable energy in their operations by implementing appropriate energy efficiency measures. However, we must not forget that this is a nursery school for developing energy efficient skills as a nation. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that innovation is the key to growth and success. Therefore, we as a nation must think ahead and quickly to utilize the alternative energy sources that exist in our country to utilize our conventional energy sources and use innovative technologies.
It is true that boilers are highly desirable for efficient operation / reducing production costs, saving energy and reducing unwanted emissions. If possible, immediate replacement of inefficient boilers should be considered.
Here is a review of the following aspects:
·         Basic Priority Boiler Efficiency and Area Management
·         Estimate the energy performance of earth boilers and calculate the efficiency.
·         Factors affecting boiler efficiency
·         Identification and rational use of alternative renewable energy sources
It contains relevant theoretical material and information and is a practical guide for students to identify and implement energy efficiency and savings opportunities in steam boilers.
Our project is concerned with determining the current operating efficiency of boilers and calculating the main losses of boilers in thermal power plants. Then determine the reason for the decline in productivity. It also improves boiler efficiency. Boilers are widely used in power generation, chemical and processing industries. This project attempts to explore available methods to maintain and improve boiler efficiency.
