The purpose of steam power plant usually is power production; however, it can work as dual purpose plant with production of steam and power simultaneously. The aim of this paper is evaluation of the integration between steam power plant as source and a site utility system as sink of steam. In this regard, a systematic methodology was applied to integration of steam power plant and process site utility system based on total site analysis and economic evaluation. In this regard, the Total Site Analysis has been performed for better understanding of both plants integration. Also, the new cogeneration targeting method has been proposed for accurate estimation of cogeneration potential for integration of steam power plant and site utility system. Furthermore, the techno-economic .evaluation of separate and coupled plant has been performed. As shown in the result, the Total Annualized Cost of coupled plant has been decreased by 1.78 % rather than separate plants.
