Transcribed Image Text:10.15 A bituminous coal-fired power plant with biomass cofiring is operating as
follows:
Power plant electric capacity Pa = 750 MW
Bituminous coal-fired power plant is cofiring biomass (dry wood)
Contribution of biomass and coal to power generation is 25%: 75%
LHV values are 31 MJ/kg for coal and 20 MJ/kg for biomass
• Power plant electrical efficiency N = 0.42
Specific carbon dioxide emissions are g = 0.85 kg CO, per kWh of elec-
tricity produced for coal
Plant capacity factor CF = 0.9
Calculate (i) the coal and biomass consumption rates, (ii) the annual coal
savings, (iii) the plant annual power generation, and (iv) the annual carbon
dioxide emission reduction due to biomass cofiring.
