Question 5.9
A small-scale diesel fired power plant has been operating since 2014. The energy input through diesel to the plant is 1000 GJ a day and producing power with an energy equivalent of 400 GJ (112 MWh). The plant is also using CHP to utilize waste of 300 GJ a day. The emission factor of the coal used for the plant is O.7kg CO2eq/kWh. The company installed a hydropower plant to replace the diesel-fired power plant to contribute to achieve SDG 7 and SDG 13. The emission factor of the hydropower plant O.1kg CO2eq/kWh only. The operating cost of diesel-fired power plant is RM0.35 kWh and for hydropower plant is RM0.08 kWh.
a) Analyse the data stated to estimate carbon emission CO2eq from the plant when operate diesel plant with booster CHP.
b) The data stated analyse to measure the impact of replacing diesel fired power plant by hydropower turbine on the environment in the scale of carbon emission (CO2eq). Present your findings on energy source vs emission (CO2eq) graph.
c) Apply power generation efficiency model to evaluate the impact of using hydropower plant system on the economy (RM). Present your findings on Energy source vs economy (RM) graph.
