charges are 4 paise per kWh, determine the cost per unit generated.
Transcribed Image Text:Example 4.5. A generating station has an installed capacity of 50,000 kW and delivers 220 × 10 units per annum. If the annual fixed charges are Rs 160 per kW installed capacity and running charges are 4 paise per kWh, determine the cost per unit generated.
Expert Solution
Step 1

We have generating station which has,

 

Installed capacity = 50,000 KW

Units delivers/Annum = 220 * 106 units/annum

Annual fixed charges = 160 Rs/KW

Running charges = 4 paise/KWh

 

We need to determine the cost per unit generated.

 

As we know that,

Cos per unit = Total annual chargesUnits generated annualy

 

So,

We will first need to determine the total annual charges for this generating station.
