In the case of technological developments, energy consumption is rising. Due to this reason, it is essential for more efficient use of limited energy resources all over the world. The waste energy should be recovered for useful applications. Moreover, the improvements in terms of system efficiency and environmental impacts should be utilized for conventional power plants in the frame of co/tri-generation systems as well as waste-to-energy concept. For all these reasons, in coal-fired power plants and other power cycle enhancement studies, supercritical and ultra-supercritical conditions are being designed for more efficient power plants. In this study, a conventional gas power plant was analyzed in terms of thermodynamic aspect and some recommendations were developed in order to increase the system efficiency. As a result of the thermodynamic analyses, the thermal efficiency of the plant was found to be 43.78%.
