    MES481 Power Plant Engineering Assignment 02

    1. What is the engine speed used in power plant? Compare


    between gas and diesel engine.
    Answer For Diesel engine:
    Fast diesel engine: maximum rotation about 1200 rpm
    Medium diesel engine: between 600-1000 rpm
    Slow diesel engine: between 400-450 rpm
    For gas engine:
    They have 2 engine speed 720 and 750 rpm

    Problem 12 The following data is available for a steam power station:

    e r as
    Maximum demand = 25,000 kW

    co
    Load factor = 0.4

    eH w
    Coal consumption = 0.86 kg/kWh

    o.
    Boiler efficiency = 85%
    rs e
    Turbine efficiency = 90%
    ou urc
    Price of coal = Rs. 55 per tonne.
    Determine the following:
    o

    (i) Thermal efficiency of the station.


    aC s

    (ii) Coal bill of the plant for one year


    v i y re

    Solution
    (i) Thermal efficiency (η) = Boiler efficiency x Turbine efficiency
    ed d

    = 0.85 x 0.9
    ar stu

    = 0.765 = 76.5%
    (ii) Load factor = Average Load/Maximum Demand
    Average Load = 0.4 x 25000 = 10000 kW
    sh is

    Energy generated in a year (E) = 10000 x 365 x 24


    Th

    = 87,600,000 = 87.6 MWh


    Cost of coal per year = (E x 0.86 x 55)/1000
    = (87.6M x 0.86 x 55)/1000
    = Rs. 4,143,480

    Problem 14 A power station has a maximum demand of 15 MW, a load factor


    of 0.7, a plant capacity factor of 0.525 and a plant use factor of 0.85. Find:
    (i) The daily energy produced.
    (ii) The reserve capacity of the plant.
    (iii) The maximum energy that could be produced daily if the plant operating
    schedule is fully loaded when in operation.
    [Ans. (i) 252,000 kWh (ii) 5,000 kW (iii) 296,470 kWh]

    Solution
    (i) Average Load = 0.7 x 15M = 10500 kW
    Daily energy produced = 10500 x 24 = 252,000 kWh
    (ii) Capacity factor = E/(C x 365 x 24)
    0.525 = (10500 x 365 x 24)/(C x 365 x 24)
    C = 20,000 kW
    Reserve capacity = Capacity - Maximum demand
    = 20,000kW - 15,000kW = 5,000 kW
    (iii) Plant use factor = actual kWh produced/(plant capacity x no. of hours
    of plant operation)
    0.85 = 252MWh/Daily maximum energy
    Daily max. energy = 296,470 kWh

    Problem 16 Calculate the unit cost of production of electric energy for a

    co
    power station for which data are supplied as follows :

    eH w
    Capacity = 50 MW

    o.
    Cost per kW = Rs. 600 rs e
    Load factor = 40%
    ou urc
    Interest and depreciation = 10%
    Cost of fuel, taxation and salaries = Rs. 36 x 1011
    o

    [Ans. 3.71 paise = Rs. 0.0 371 ]


    aC s
    v i y re

    Solution
    Energy consumption = 0.4 x 50,000 = 20,000 kW
    Energy consumed per year = 20,000 x 365 x 24 = 175.2 x 106 kWh
    ed d

    Capital cost = 175.2 x 106 x 600 = Rs. 1.0512 x 1011


    ar stu

    Cost of fuel, taxation and salaries = Rs. 36 x1011


    Interest and depreciation = 0.1 x 1.0512 x 1011 = Rs. 1.0512 x 1010
    sh is

    Energy cost per kWh = Total cost/Energy consumed per year
