Problem 4 A 700 MW coal fired plant has a capacity factor of 80% for the year 2015 (not a leap year). The heat rate of the unit is 10,000 BTU/kwh. The average cost of coal is $2.60 per MBTU. Calculate the fuel cost for the unit in 2015. [20 points)
The solution to the problems includes detailed explanation, presentation and discussion of results. It is recommended to solve the problem through GAMS, Matlab, etc. PROBLEMS 5.1 Three units are on-line all 720h of a 30-day month. Their characteristics are as follows: H, = 225+8.47P, +0.0025P,?, 50 SP, S 350 H, = 729+6.20P, +0.0081P2, 50 5 P, S 350 H, = 400+ 7.20P, +0.0025P², 50 P, S 450 In these equations, the H. are in MBtu/h and the P. are in...
