TOPIC: Power Systems, Power Plants & Illumination INSTRUCTIONS: - Answer in this format: Given, Illustration, Required Conversion, Solution, Final Answer. - Step-by-step solution, do not skip even simple calculations to avoid confusion. - If answered in written form, make sure it is readable. PROBLEM: A coal-fired Power Plant with a 3000 kW rated capacity costs $15000 per kW installed. Annual operating cost is $12M, annual maintenance cost is $8M, annual depreciation is $15M, interest on investment per year is 8%, and cost of coal is $800 per ton. If one pound of coal is needed to generate 1 kWhr, find the total annual cost to operate the plant. The plant capacity factor is 50%. $46.45M $43.38M $40.28M $42.32M
