The purpose of this research is to study the thermal efficiency-economic analysis of cogeneration plants. The system performance is evaluated on the basis of thermal efficiency which is calculated using an energy balance method for the system. Since in the thermal efficiency, The performance is evaluated the exhaust, inlet state of steam turbine, condensed condition of condenser and steam. The economic analysis is using the Return On Investment (ROI) method. Finally, The optimal model is to establish for the system. As a concluding remark, the results presented here will be a good reference to the operating condition of a practical running (old) cogeneration plants. On the other hand, the simulation model provides a reference to the design work of a new cogeneration plants.
