For the following potential available energy: A) Estimate the optimum power plant capacity, and its plant factor, for maximum utilization of the following available potential. B) For a power plant with N number of identical units, each at "P" MW capacity, what would be the actual minimum number of N and at what "P", to absorb all the available potential. C) For capacity calculated in (B), what would be Plant Factor. Available potential in GWh / month : (one month=30 days) 12.4, 11.3, 10.5, 8.8, 6.1, 4.7, 3.2, 1.8, 1.5, 1.01, 0.71, 9.5 Assumptions for part (A) calculation: - Base load operated power plant. Power plant is equipped with 3 identical units. - Maximum and minimum allowable operating range of 115% and 30% of design power for each unit. - Use steps of 1MW, in capacity evaluation (of each units), for power plant capacity calculation in (A) Assumption for part (B) calculation: - Base load operated power plant - Maximum and minimum allowable operating range of 115% and 30% of design power for each unit For the following potential available energy: A) Estimate the optimum power plant capacity, and its plant factor, for maximum utilization of the following available potential.
