Chapter 2. Fuels
1. In the United States electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel
for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu),
gallon (gal), and ton (T). An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical).
If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is
fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7,
and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the
cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm).
Given: 100 MW electrical average annual output
η = 0.33
Fuel cost = $5/MBtu (natural gas)
Fuel cost = $3/gal (No. 2 fuel oil)
Fuel cost = $60/ton (bituminous coal)
