If a 7000 MW power plant is shut down for 2 days, what will be the loss in revenues if the utility could sell its electricity at $0.12 per kwh?
2 days will have 48 hours
So total kwh is =7000*10^3*48=336000000
So total loss in revenue=40320000 $
Total power loss=
7000*106*2*24/1000=336*103 kwh
Now, Loss in the revenue= 0.12*336*103= 40.32 dollar

A 50 MW combined-cycle plant with a heat rate of 7,700 Btu/kWh operates with a 50% capacity factor and the cost is $600/kW Natural gas fuel costs $5 per million Btu. Annual operation and maintenance cost (O&M) is $0.04/kWh. The utility fixed charge rate (FCR) is 0.12 per year. Determine a. The annualized capital cost of the plant (S/yr) b. The annual electricity production (kWh/yr) c. The annual fuel and...
.17 instead of $17 baikopie 2sdnt slodw Consider an electric utility deciding whether to continue to operate a coal plant to produce electricity or shut it down temporarily. In the short run, the electric utility can decide how much labor to hire to operate the coal plant, but cannot increase the size of the plant nor sell it nor shut it down permanently. Average cost - the average of capital, labor, and fuel (coal) costs - is $17 per kWh....
A wind power plant costs $1,000,000 to build over the course of one year, during which time it produces no power. In its second year of operation, it produces 10 million kWh of electricity at zero cost then explodes. The discount rate is 10% per year. The levelized cost of this wind generator is. $0.09/kWh $0.10/kWh $0.11/kWh $0.12/kWh
a power plant has 4 smaller substations. the main power plant generates 420 MW of electricity and is distributed to these substations using high voltage power lines. Each line carries 140 kV while having .20 Ohms resistance in each line. what is the power loss in each transmission line? let the power be distributed equally betewen the 4 substations. 12000 kW 2000 kW 900 kW 4000 kW 450 kW 110 kW
There is a rural community with 8000 households. The community has a power plant that uses fossil fuel with a capacity of producing 20,000 megawatts (MW) and the average energy consumption per house of 10,000 kilowatts (kWh) throughout each year. With this scheme the residents pay 9 dolars per hour each kWh. Some investors have proposed to the community to look for alternative sources of energy, and for that they propose the installation of 10 wind turbines. Each of these...
An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $540 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 23 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 72% of the time (downtime is 28% of any given year). The MARR is 9% per year a. If this plant will make a profit of two cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity...
A power plant delivers 900.0 MW of usable energy and dumps 2100.0 MW of waste heat into a nearby river at 15*C. What is the minimum temperature that the combustion locaiton could possibly have?
Suppose a large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted this voltage to kV. The secondary coil of this transformer is being replaced so that its output can be 730 kV for more efficient cross-country transmission on upgraded transmission lines V 315 kV V2 730 kV - 50% Part (a) If the overall power output is 1000.0 MW and line resistance is 2.00 Ω, what was the power loss, in watts, in the old power...
A nuclear power plant has a reactor that produces heat at the rate of 870 MW. This heat is used to produce 240 MW of mechanical power to drive an electrical generator. (a) At what rate is heat discarded to the environment by this power plant? MW (b) What is the thermal efficiency of the plant? A research group plans to construct an engine that extracts energy from the ocean, using the fact that the water temperature near the surface...
32 Suppose a utility generates electricity with a 36 percent efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per million Btus of heat into the plant. Suppose the utility encourages its customers to replace their 75-W incandescents with 18-W com pact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that produce the same amount of light. Over the 10,000-hr (a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved? (b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO2 would not be emitted? (c)...
