Methods of feed water treatments

Water used in boiler must be free from various impurities. The different

treatments to remove the various impurities are as follow;

1. Mechanical treatment:

Rankine cycle with modifications

1) Superheat: Superheat has an additional benefit; it results in drier steam at turbine exhaust.

This means that; turbine operation with less moisture leads to more efficient

and less prone to blade damage.

WT=𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h1-h2) = [KW] (work done by turbine)

Qadd=𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h1-h4) = [ KW] (heat added to feed water in boiler )

Wp= 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h4-h3) = [ KW] (pump work)

Wnet=WT - WP = [KW]

Qrej= 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h2- h3) = [KW]


Reheat :

Superheated steam expanded part of the way in a high pressure turbine,

after which it is returned back to the boiler to reheat at a constant

pressure to the same maximum temperature or near it. The reheated

steam expands in low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure.

Reheat results in drier steam at turbine exhaust, which is beneficial for

real cycle. It is found that, the efficiency is improved (by about 3%) if

the reheat pressure was about 20%- 25% of the maximum pressure.

wt= (h1 - h2)+ (h3 - h4) = [KJ/kg]

WT=𝑚𝑠𝑡 wt = 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h1 - h2)+ 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h3 - h4) = [KW]

qadd= (h1-h6) + (h3 – h2 ) = [KJ/kg]

Qadd=𝑚𝑠𝑡 qadd = 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h1-h6) + 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h3 – h2 ) = [KW]

Wp= 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h6-h5) = [KW]

Wnet=WT-WP

Qrej= 𝑚𝑠𝑡 (h4 – h5 ) = [KW]


2) Regeneration:

The irreversibility can be eliminated if the feed water to the boiler at saturation

temperature which corresponding to boiler pressure. Turbine work is decreases

and small increase in efficiency was obtained.

There are three types of feed water heaters;

1- Open or direct contact type.

2- Closed type with drains pumped forward.

3- Closed type with drains cascaded backward.

3-Cogeneration

Cogeneration is defined as; the simultaneous generation of electricity and

steam (or heat) in a single power plant.

Cogeneration plant is a plant that producing both electrical power and process

heat simultaneously.

Examples are chemical industries, paper mills, and places that use district

heating.

From an energy resource point of view, cogeneration is beneficial only if it

saves primary energy when compared with separate generation of electricity

and steam (or heat).

The cogeneration plant efficiency ( ηco ) is given by;

ηco = WT+QH

Qadd

where;

WT = Electrical Energy generated, kW

QH = Heat energy in process steam, kW

Qadd = Heat added to the plant, kW

For separate generation of electricity and steam the heat added per unit total

energy output is;

e

ηe

+1−e

ηh

Where;

e= electrical fraction of total energy output = WT

WT+QH

ηe = electrical plant efficiency.

ηh = steam (or heat) generator efficiency.

The combined efficiency for separate generation is given as;

ηc = 1

e

ηe +

1−e

ηh

ηc : combined efficiency for two separate electrical and thermal plant


cogeneration is beneficial : if ηco > ηc

Qadd exceeds that of the

combined efficiency for separate generation ηc = 1

ηe : efficiency of electrical plant producing same electrical output power

as the electrical split (part) in cogeneration plant .

ηh: efficiency of thermal plant producing same thermal (heat) output power

From the previous figure :

WT = 30 unit

QH = 45 unit

Qadd =100 unit

ηe = 31 %

ηh= 80%

Types of cogeneration

There are two categories of cogeneration;

1.) The topping cycle:

Process steam pressure requirements vary between 0.5 bar and 40 bar.

Therefore, primary heat at high temperature and low temperature are used.

It is possible to generate the required power and make available the required

quantity of exhaust steam at the desired low heating temperature. Exhaust

steam from turbine is utilized for process heating in which case is called back

pressure turbine. The process heating was replacing the condenser of the

ordinary Rankine cycle.

Most process applications required steam at low grade temperature.

There are several arrangements for cogeneration in topping cycle as;

a) Steam- electrical power-plant with a back pressure turbine.

b) Steam- electrical power-plant with steam extraction from turbine.

c) Gas turbine power plant with a heat recovery boiler.

d) Combined steam-gas-turbine-cycle power-plant.

Arrangement a: suitable for low electrical demand compared with heat demand.

Arrangement d: suitable for high electrical demand compared with heat demand.

Arrangement c: lies in between.

Arrangement b: suitable over a wide range of ratios.

2.) The bottoming cycle

Primary heat is used at high temperature directly for process heat requirements

(as in cement kiln). The low temperature waste heat is used to generate

electricity at low efficiency.

Only the topping cycle can provide true saving in primary energy.


From figure:

you can notice that the total fuel used in cogeneration plant =(100 unit fuel ) is

lower than the total fuel used in two separate plant to produce same amount of

heat and electricity (91+56 =147 unit fuel) , although the output is the same.

And so ηco = 75% while ηc = 51%

Here ηe and ηh for separate electrical and thermal plant are given but to find it

in the problems :

ηh : separate thermal plant efficiency is the boiler efficiency

because in thermal plant , assuming no pressure drop (ideal ) .

then the only component in the cycle is the boiler used to generate heat .

𝛈𝐡 = 𝛈𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫

ηe : separate electrical plant efficiency can be obtained by substituting

the process with CFWH .

i.e : the same amount of bled steam extracted to the process heat

in the cycle will be used to increase temperature of the feed water

in closed feed water heater before going to the boiler .

Finding ηh , ηe and ηc will be explained further in the examples .


Example ( 3.1 ):

In textile factory required 10 ton/hr of steam for process heating @3 bar dry

saturated and 1000 Kw of power for which aback pressure turbine with 70%

internal efficiency is to be used. find steam condition @ inlet to the turbine .

Solution

Example ( 3.2 ):

In a cogeneration plant (combined power and process heat), the boiler

generates 21 Ton/hr of steam @17 bar and 230 oC. A part of the steam goes to

a process heater which consumes 133 kW, the steam leaving the process heater

@ 17 bar, x=0.96 being throttled (at constant enthalpy) to 3.5 bar. The

remaining steam flows through high pressure turbine which exhausts at a

pressure of 3.5 bar. The exhaust steam mixes with the process steam before

entering the low pressure turbine. The low pressure turbine develops 1333 kW.

At the end of expansion, steam goes to condenser @ pressure is 0.3 bar and

x=0.92. Draw h-s diagram and schematic diagram. Also, determine;

1) The steam quality at the exhaust of high pressure turbine. 2) The power

developed by high pressure turbine.

3) The isentropic efficiency of high pressure turbine. 4) Cogeneration plant

efficiency.

4-Heat Balance Sheet for Internal Combustion Engine

One of thermodynamic test for internal combustion engines is heat balance

sheet, which taken the required measurements after the engine has reached the

steady state conditions.

Also, other important tests like;

• Indicated Mean Effective Pressure.

• Indicated power and thermal efficiency.

• Engine speed and temperature.

• Brake torque, brake power and mechanical efficiency.

• Fuel consumption, air consumption, and volumetric efficiency.

Indicated power (IP)

Indicated power (IP) is the power actually developed by the engine cylinder;

IP = ((MEP)*105*(L A n)k )/60 Watt

Where;

MEP = Mean Effective Pressure, bar.

L = Stroke length, m.

A = Piston area (cross section), m2.

n = number of working strokes per minute,

n = N/2 for 4 stroke engine

n = N for 2 stroke engine

N: RPM

k = number of cylinders, -

Heat Balance Sheet for Internal Combustion Engine:

Heat balance sheet is done during a certain time (one minute);

• Heat supplied by the fuel; Qt = 𝐦𝐟. (C.V. ), kJ/min.

Where;

mf. = Mass flow rate of supplied fuel, kg/min.

C.V. = Lower calorific value of fuel, kJ/kg.

• Heat absorbed in I. P. produced;

IP = (MEP)*105*(L A n)k, kJ/min.

• Heat losses

∑Qloss = QT – I. P. , kJ/min.


1- Heat rejected to cooling water:

Q1 = mcw. Cpcw ( Tcw,o –Tcw,i ) , kJ/min.

Where;

mcw. = mass flow rate of cooling water, kg/min.

Cpcw = specific heat at constant pressure for cooling water, kJ/kg.oC.

Tcw,i = Cooling water inlet temperature, oC.

Tcw,o = Cooling water outlet temperature, oC.

2- Heat carried away by exhaust gasses:

Q2 = mg. Cpg ( Tg,o –Tg,i ) , kJ/min.

Where;

mg. = mass flow rate of exhaust gasses, kg/min.

Cpg = specific heat at constant pressure for exhaust gasses, kJ/kg.oC.

Tg,i = exhaust gasses inlet temperature, oC.

Tg,o = exhaust gasses outlet temperature, oC.

3- Unaccounted losses:

There are some of heat due to friction leakage, radiation,…..etc., which can not

be determine experimentally. Then;

Q3 = ∑Qloss – (Q1 + Q2 ) , kJ/min.


Example (4.1 ):

In an internal combustion engine: Indicated power developed =18 kW.

Cooling water flow rate=12 kg/min. Temperature rise of cooling water=25 oC.

Exhaust gas flow rate was 4 kg/min. Temperature rise of exhaust gas 220 oC.

Fuel consumption= 6 kg/hr, Fuel C.V. =44000 kJ/kg. Take: Cpg =1.1 kJ/kg.oC.

QT = 𝑚𝑓 C.V.

= 0.1 * 44000 = 4400 KJ/min

I.P = 18 KW

= 18*60 =1080 KJ/min

∑Qloss = QT – I. P

= 4400 -1080 = 3320 KJ/min

1) Heat loss to cooling water

Q1 = 𝑚𝑐𝑤 CPcw ΔTcw

= 12 * 4.2 * 25 = 1260 KJ/min

2) Heat loss to exhaust (flue gases)

Q2 = 𝑚𝑔 CPg ΔTg

= 4 * 1.1 * 220 = 968 KJ/min

3) Unaccounted heat loss

Q3 = Qloss - (Q1 +Q2)

= 3320 – (1260 + 968 ) = 1092 KJ/min

In the previous boiler equations , if there was [CO2% , CO% , N2% or C% ]

with the percentage sign (%) then the number in (Mass analysis for fuel) or

(Flue gas analysis by volume) is used as given .

Explanations Boiler losses :

1- dry gas loss :

after the flow gases outlet from the preheater (the last stage that flue

gases are used to heat combustion air ) but still hot with temperature

Tg,o > 100°C and this temperature is considered loss because it wasn’t

useful to through this thermal energy in the flue gases to the ambient

(boiler house temperature ).

2- Un burned fuel :

From the name we can predict that some of the fuel didn’t burn so this is

loss because we didn’t benefit from all the fuel in the boiler .

3- Moisture loss in fuel :

First of all the fuel contains some moisture as (mm) or as (H2) which

forms H2O after burning the fuel with air .

This amount of water means that there is mass in the fuel isn’t applicable

to burn generating heat because water (moisture) doesn’t have calorific

value thus the moisture in fuel isn’t benifical .

when we burn this fuel containing moisture , the moisture evaporates

and becomes super heated steam due to combustion of the fuel, so this

moisture actually absorbed some of the heat from burning the fuel and

this carries away heat in the form of its latent heat, and instead of using

this heat to evaporate the water in the boiler drum , it were used to

evaporate the moisture in the fuel it self

4- Incomplete combustion :

in complete combustion all the carbon become CO2 and having CO in

the combustion product means that the combustion wasn’t complete

because amount of air wasn’t enough .

5- Moisture loss in combustion air :

Loss due to moisture in air (H2O), the air used for combusting the fuel is

taken from the ambient so the amount of moisture in air .

Vapour in the form of humidity in the incoming air, is superheated as it

passes through the boiler. Since this heat passes up the stack

6- Un accounted loss :

Loss due to surface radiation, convection to the surrounding and other

unaccounted sources.


Boiler Plant :

1) Heat balance for super heater

mfg CPg (Tfg,i – Tfg,o)s.heater = ms (hsuper -hDSS )

mfg : total mass of flue gas per 1 kgf

mfg = (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡+ 1 =[ kgfg/kgf ]

Tfg,i : super heater flue gas inlet temp.

Tfg,o : super heater flue gas outlet temp.

hsuper :outlet super heater specific enthalpy of steam.

hDSS :intlet super heater specific enthalpy of steam.

2) Heat balance for economizer

mfg CPg (Tfg,i – Tfg,o)eco = ms CPw (Tfw,o -Tfw,i)

Tfg,i : economizer flue gas inlet temp.

Tfg,o : economizer flue gas outlet temp.

Tfw,o : economizer water outlet temp.

Tfg,i : economizer water inlet temp.

3) Heat balance for air preheater

mfg CPg (Tfg,i – Tfg,o)air preheater = mair CPair (Ta,o – Ta,i )

mair : mass of air per 1 kgf = air to fuel ratio (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡

T1 :air preheater flue gas inlet temp.

T2 : air preheater flue gas outlet temp.

Tair,i :air preheater inlet temp. of air .

Tair,o : air preheater outlet temp. of air .

CPair : specific heat for air


Notes :

1- There is two (mass of flue gas per 1 kgf ) were mentioned in previous

equation either in boiler losses formulas or in the heat balance for (super

heater , economizer and air preheater )

a- mg : mass of flue gases per 1kgf in boiler losses equations .

mg = = (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡+ mc = kgflue /kgf

b- mfg : mass of flue gases per 1kgf in heat balance equations .

mfg = (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡+ 1 = kgflue /kgf

2- If there is (mm) :

(𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡 =

𝐶% (1−𝑚𝑚) 𝑁%

33 (𝐶𝑂2%+𝐶𝑂%)

mg = (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡+ mc (1-mm) = kgflue /kgf

mfg = (𝐴

𝐹)𝑎𝑐𝑡+ 1 = kgflue /kgf

So what is the difference between both mg and mfg ?

mg : is used in calculating the dry gas loss because rest of components

like moisture present in fuel the. The losses due to these components have not

been included in the dry flue gas loss since they are separately calculated as a

wet flue gas loss.

mfg : because all the component of fuel (carbon , hydrogen and moisture )

combust with air producing flue gas which is used with it’s components

in super heater , reheater , economizer and air preheater .

At last mg doesn’t include moisture mass (mm) and (H2 ) which forms H2O in

combustion product unlike mfg which include all the flue gas components .

Find the increase in input to increase the output from 7 MW to 9 MW.

Solution

• From I/O curve

I@ L=7 MW = 106[30 + 0.5L+0.65 L2+ 0.01L3]

=106[30 + 0.5(7)+0.65 (7)2+ 0.01(7)3]

7) Load curves

To design power plant it is important to know the following conditions for

energy supply;

1) Maximum demand.

2) Total energy required.

3) Distribution of energy demand.

7.1 Maximum Demand for Consumer:

a) Every consumer has connected load and maximum demand. The relation

between them is defined as;

Demand factor = 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 ≤1

Experience shows that: Demand factor for hotels was about 25% and for

refrigeration plants was about 90 %.

b) Experience shows that, the maximum demand of individual consumers do not

occur simultaneously but are spread out over a period of time. The time

distribution of maximum demands for group of consumers is defined as;

Group Diversity factor = 𝐒𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬

𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 ≥1

c) The peak demand of a system is made up of the individual demands of the

group of consumers. The diversity is measured by;

Peak diversity factor = 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩

𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 ≥1


Example (7.1):

It is required to add a demand of new housing development to lines of public

utility.

a) Domestic-load : There are 1000 apartments each one having 30 KW connected

load, with the following factors:

Demand factor=0.5, Group diversity factor=3.5, and Peak diversity factor=1.5.

b) Commercial-load: like stores and services as; Store number Connected load , kW Demand factor

Mosque 1 150 0.6

Church 1 150 0.56

Laundry 1 50 0.68

Theatre 1 300 0.5

Hospital 1 500 0.67

Bookstore 3 25 for each 0.66

Clothing store 5 40 for each 0.55

Different store services 20 50 for each 0.7

Commercial-load group diversity factor= 1.5, and peak diversity factor=1.1

Find increase in peak demand on the total system resulting from adding this

development. Assume line loss is to be 5% of the delivered energy.

Sol.

a) Domestic-load: Max. Demand per apartment = Demand factor × Connected load

= 0.5 × 30 = 15 kW

Max. Demand of 1000 apartments = 𝐒𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫

= (1000 × 15) / 3.5 = 4285.7 kW

Demand of 1000 apartments at time of system peak

= 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩

𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫

= (4285.7/ 1.4) = 3061.2 kW

c) Commercial-load: Store number Max. Demand=Connected load × Demand factor

Mosque 1 150×0.6

Church 1 150 ×0.56

Laundry 1 50 ×0.68

Theatre 1 300 ×0.5

Hospital 1 500 ×0.67

Bookstore 3 75 × 0.66

Clothing store 5 200 × 0.55


Different store services 20 1000 × 0.7

Total of commercial max demands = 1552.5 kW

Max. Demand of commercial group= 𝐒𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫

= (1552.5) / 1.5 = 1035 kW

Commercial demand at time of system peak

= 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩

𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫

= (1035 /1.1) = 940.9 kW

Total demand at time of system peak = 3061.2 + 940.9 = 4002.1 kW

Total increase in max. demand at station bus = 4002.1 1.05 = 4202.2 kW

Load curves

Load curve is a graph which represents the variation of electrical demand with

time.

Chronological load curve. Load duration curve

One year = 8760 hrs

A.M.= After Mid-night.

P.M. = Previous Mid-night.

Load, kW

Time, hr


The annual factors are defined as follow;

1) Annual Load factor measure the variation of load over the operating

time;

Load factor = 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝

𝐌𝐚𝐱.𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 ×𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞

2) The use of the generating plant over one year (8760 hrs) is measured by:

Capacity factor = 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 ×𝟖𝟕𝟔𝟎

3) The use of the generating plant over the operating time is measured by:

Use factor = 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 ×𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞

• Load factor and Use factor become identical when the peak load is equal

to the capacity of the plant over the operating time.

• Load factor, capacity factor, and Use factor become identical when the

peak load is equal to the capacity of the plant over 8760 hrs.

4) The utilization factor measure the use of the total installed capacity of

the plant:

Utilization factor = 𝐌𝐚𝐱.𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲

• Low utilization factor means the plant is used only for stand-by purpose.


Example (7.2 ):

A 300 MW thermal power station is to supply the power to a system having

maximum and minimum demands 240 MW and 180 MW respectively in a

year. Assuming annual load duration curve is to be a straight line between

maximum and minimum values.

Compute: load factor, capacity factor, use factor and utilization factor.

Steam power plant 600 MW capacity carries the following loads:

Duration Time, hr 1500 1500 2500 1500 1760

Load, MW 500 450 425 350 325

Plant performance curve is given by: I=103[1500+8L]+0.01L3, where L in MW

and I in MJ/hr.

Fuel price 5000 LE/Ton. Fuel C. V. =42000 kJ/kg.

Installation cost 8000 LE/kW.

Labor cost 5000 LE/hr. Operating taxes=0.01 LE/kW.hr.

All other costs= 8×106 LE.

Fixed taxes and insurance are 0.5% and 0.2% respectively.

Money interest, i=8%, n=20 years.

Calculate Average heat rate (HRav ) and cost of kW.hr in this case and in case

of the load is constant and equal to 500 MW all along the year.

Co = 5735*106 + 43.8*106 + 35.845*106 + 8*106 = 5822.6*106 L.E


Ct = Cf + Co

Ct = 522.24*106 + 5822.6*106 = 6344.84*106 L.E

Example (8.4)

Choose the most economical one from the following two plants A,B to perform

the following .

Duration , hr 500 3000 1500 2000 1760

Load , MW 50 40 20 10 5

Plant (A) Plant (B)

Fuel C.V , MJ/kg 28 36

Fuel price L.E/ton 1000 1200

Labor cost 2000 , L.E/hr 48000 , L.E/day

HRavg , MJ/KW.hr 9 8.5

Installation cost, LE/kW 1000 1000

For the two plants n= 15 year

All other cost = 8*106 L.E

Repair cost = 8.5 LE/ton of fuel used

i=8%

operating taxes = 0.01 of annual operating cost

fixed annual insurance = 0.2%

Solution

Fixed cost (Cf )

Cf A = RA.PA

Cf B = RB.PB


because no capacity is given in problem , take capacity = Lmax = 50 MW

PA = 1000 * 50*103 = 50*106 L.E

PB = 1000 * 50*103 = 50*106 L.E

RA=RB = i + depreciation + fixed insurance

Depreciation = 𝑖

(1+𝑖 )𝑛−1 =

0.08

(1+0.08 )15−1 = 0.0368

R = 0.08 + 0.0368 +0.002= 0.1188

Cf A=Cf B = 50*106 * 0.1188 = 5.94*106 L.E
