efficiency =Heat Output /Heat Input .

 

Either We have reduced Heat Input by regenerative cycle by selecting optimum feed water temperature

 

Heat output by reheat cycle increasing power output of Turbine .

 

Any Power plant 60 -65% removal of Latent heat of exhaust (Condenser)  we have try  to utilize maximum energy from STG  (Bleed steam for Heaters ,Process steam if required ).

 

The above is simple explanation
