How to increase power when hitting the bag?

Get better at body mechanics (shadowbox in mirror)

How many round should be done on the heavybag?

Depends on the day and the purpose. Are you training technique? Power? Speed? Endurance? Volume? Are you sparring today?

Can it be done every day?

Definitely. See above about purpose

Any tips to avoid injury?

Wrap your hands well. Get good gloves. If it hurts, your technique sucks.

Any explosive drills to use on the bag?

It's all technique mang.

You can try shifting/side stepping from one side to the other and throwing hooks. Or pull counters with your rear hand. Or slips followed by lead hooks. Or quick in and out 1-2s.

Just keep practicing, basically.

Work on shifting your weight. Get your feet, legs, hips, and shoulders involved. The rotation of the body is critical to harnessing power. The strongest punches are guys who observe these principles.
