The 460 MW reference thermal cycle, which is based on the Lagisza supercritical, coal fired power plant was selected for this study. The thermodynamic analysis was performed with the use of the industrial software package IPSEpro, designed for power plant engineering. The main objective was to demonstrate the role of supercritical parameters in enhancing the efficiency of the thermodynamic process. It was done among the others by the comparative analysis of two thermal cycles, one working with standard and the other with supercritical parameters. Apart from nominal operating conditions part load operation was analyzed. : Power plant, steam cycle, system analysis, IPSEpro The increasing energy consumption is the reason that the coal is still one of the main sources of electricity all around the world and cannot be instantaneously replaced by renewable energy sources. However due to CO emission limits and corresponding penalties, the conventional coal–fired power plants with the efficiency lower than 40% (wit
