Model-based studies are widely used in the analysis and optimization of complex energy conversion processes in large thermal power plants. The creation and validation of a model of a power unit utilizing Bulgarian lignite enables us to study in detail the redistribution of heat flows in that unit. Along with the ability to optimize the thermodynamic cycle of energy generation, this research method enables us to conduct many study tasks that cannot be realized by conducting expensive and complex industrial experiments. The current article presents the creation of thermodynamic simulation model of a 4th power unit firing lignite coal in Maritsa East 2 TPP. Validation of the numerical solution was performed with data from the "Operating Instructions for the boilers”, design heat balance calculations for steam turbine installation and performance test results onsite on two different loads.
