Question 5 A natural gas plant with a 50MW operates at an average loading of 75% year round. How many kWh does the plant to supply to the grid? Question 6 For Question 5, the natural gas power plant costs $175,000,000 to build and costs $20M a year to operate. What is the average cost per kWh or MWh for the power produced if the estimated plant life is 20 years? Assume a discount rate of 5%.
Solar panel measurement is continuous; one side is about 10 meters and the other is about 16 meters. What is the area covered by the solar panels (in square meters)? How much solar power is coming to the solar panels? (state your assumptions) Assume each solar panel is rated for about 100 W of generating capacity. What is the total generating capacity of the whole solar garden? How much power is being generated each day during this period? (based on the table below) What does that indicate about the efficiency of these panels in converting solar energy into electricity? Compare to your answers for B and C. Here are some meter readings and the date: Date kWh 6-Oct 12536 14-Oct 13053 8-Oct 12653 12-Oct 12934 20-Oct 13216 Before class 20-Oct 13218 After class 27-Oct 13423 After class For extra credit, guess the meter reading on Thursday, November 5 at 7:45 am.

A building in a location is equipped with a heat pump system that is used for space heating in winter and cooling in summer. The seasonal COPs of the heat pump in winter and summer are estimated to be 2.2 and 2.8, respectively. The design heating load of the house is calculated to be 750,000 kJ/h for an indoor temperature of 25°C. The unit cost of electricity is $0.09/kWh. The annual heating degree-days in this location is 2400°C-days and the 97.5% winter design temperature is −9°C. The cooling degree-days are 1100°C-days. Determine the annual electricity consumption and its cost for heating and cooling of this house. Assume the same overall heat loss coefficient for winter and summer.

A power plant produces 1000MW to supply a city 40km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire with resistance through the city and returns via the ground, with negligible resistance. At the power plant the voltage between wire and ground is 115 kV. Determine: (a) the current in the wire, and (b) the fraction of the power lost in transmission.

A meeting hall in an organization is to be provided with a lighting installation. The hall is 30 m × 20 m × 8 m (high). The mounting height is 5 m and the required level of illumination is 144 lm/m2. Design a lighting system for the hall with the given data. Lumens/watt for 200-W lamp = 12 and Lumens/ watt for 500-W lamp = 16. Utilization coefficient = 0.6 Maintenance factor = 0.75 space/height ratio=1 Using metal filament lamps, estimate the following: Flux Luman output per 200 W lamp Luman output per 500 W lamp Number of 500W lamps required Number of 220W lamps required Draw the spacing layout of these lamps State the reason if any of these 2 lamps cannot be arranged in the hall with the given specification. What is the significance of ‘room surface maintenance factor’ and ‘utilization factor’ in the lighting design
A small plant has been constructed and the costs are known. A new plant is to be estimated with the use of the exponential (power sizing) costing model. Major equipment, costs, and factors are as shown in the shown table. (Note MW = 106 Watts.) If ancillary equipment will cost an additional $200,000, find the cost for the proposed plant.
