In this exercise we will consider two coal-fired power plants and a solar thermal plant, in order to compare their power densities, i.e., their power output vs. the amount of land they occupy. This method of comparison of diverse forms of renewable and non-renewable energy systems was pioneered by Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Canada. The first coal plant is highly efficient and is optimally located, next to a mine that supplies high-quality coal from a thick...

A coal-fired power plant can produce electricity at an operating cost of $0.06 per kilowatt-hour when running at its full capacity of 30 megawatts per hour, $0.16 per kilowatt-hour when running at 20 megawatts per hour, and $0.24 per kilowatt-hour when running at 10 megawatts per hour. A gas-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour at any capacity from 1 megawatt per hour to its full capacity of 5 megawatts per hour. The...

4. Petacalco is a coal-fired power plant in La Union, Guerrero. In 2002, it had an installed capacity of 2100 MW, and produced 13,870.47 GWh. To produce this amount of energy, the plant used 957.53 m3 of fuel oil, 3631.24 kt of bituminous coal, and 6650 m3 of diesel. Diesel and fuel oil were burned in boilers having a normal configuration; while coal was burned in a wett-bottom furnace. Estimate the total amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere during...
