Abstract— Steam turbines are utilized in numerous industries to drive boiler fans, boiler feed and water pumps, process and chillier compressors, blast furnace blowers, paper mill line shafts, sugar mill grinders, and generators in a variety of industries and applications. In any plant, stoppage of steam turbines results into the stoppage of entire plant, which in turn results in loss of productivity and profit of the industries. In this paper monitoring Approaches on steam turbine of thermal power plant define for to effectively manage the health and performance of steam turbines, improve power generation capacity, reduce maintenance cost and mainenance problems. Monitoring approaches are supporting all thermal power plant systems. The Result of these steam turbine Monitoring efforts should be directed toward diagnosing and justifying the problem and failure of the total system and help of these get better performance of the plant.
