AB  - The coal fired thermal power plants plays major role in the power production in 
      the world as they are available in abundance. Many of the existing power plants 
      are based on the subcritical technology which can produce power with the 
      efficiency of around 33%. But the newer plants are built on either supercritical 
      or ultra-supercritical technology whose efficiency can be up to 50%. Main 
      objective of the work is to enhance the efficiency of the existing subcritical 
      power plants to compensate for the increasing demand. For achieving the 
      objective, the statistical modeling of the boiler units such as economizer, drum 
      and the superheater are initially carried out. The effectiveness of the developed 
      models is tested using analysis methods like R(2) analysis and ANOVA (Analysis of 
      Variance). The dependability of the process variable (temperature) on different 
      manipulated variables is analyzed in the paper. Validations of the model are 
      provided with their error analysis. Response surface methodology (RSM) supported 
      by DOE (design of experiments) are implemented to optimize the operating 
      parameters. Individual models along with the integrated model are used to study 
      and design the predictive control of the coal-fired thermal power plant.
