Concept explainers

Electrical Power Generation

In an electric power generator, one type of energy is converted into electrical energy. Power-generating systems are simply a combination of potential or stored energy that is converted to provide kinetic energy, which, in turn, generates electrical energy for use in engines, lighting, heating, and other benefits of modern life.

A steam power station has a coal consumption of 0.54kg/kW-hr and a load factor of 50%. If the heating value of coal is 6400kcal/kg, determine the thermal efficiency, the energy generated per annum and the coal consumption per annum. Maximum demand is 20,000kw.
You want to buy electric energy. You can buy from company A, B, C, or D,but you must choose only one. You obtain past data on these four suppliers, and you then determinethat the prices for some of them have been quite volatile, influenced by the state of the economy(recession, stagnation, and inflation). You assess this data given in the table below. Assuming that you simply want to minimize your average costs over the long run, determine theexpected costs for all energy suppliers. Select the supplier based on minimum expected cost.
