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%.
1. Voltage between 1 kV and 50 kV is defined as:
A.Very High Voltage
B.Medium Voltage
C.Low Voltage
D.High Voltage
A factory consumes 400, 000 kVAh in a year witth the yearly average power factor 0.75. Calculate the average demand and percentage of annual load factor if the maximum demand is 120kW.
A.Average demand = 44.25kW, Load factor = 29%
B.Average demand = 44.25kW, Load factor = 39%
C.Average demand = 34.25kW, Load factor = 29%
D.Average demand = 34.25kW, Load factor = 39%
The example of low voltage system is:
A.Three-phase, 4-wire, 415 V, up to 45 kVA maximum demand
B.Three-phase, 3-wire, 66 kV, 132 kV and 275 kV for exceptionally large load of 25 MVA maximum demand
C.Three-phase, 3-wire, 11 kV for load of 1000 kVA maximum demand and above
D.Three-phase, 3-wire, 22 kV or 33 kV for load of 5000 kVA maximum demand and above
A load rises from zero to 20 kW instantaneosly and stays constant for 2 minutes, then rises about 40…
A factory has a maximum demand of 500 kW, the load factor being 60 % during working hours. The following two tariffs are available:
Rs. 8 per kW of maximum plus 3 paise per kWh.
A flat rate of rs. 0.1/ kWh.
Determine the working hours per week above which tariff (i) will be cheaper. (Rs. 44 hours/week)
