i)

ANNUAL POWER GENERATION: (Capacity (Mw) X Loading Factor X Hours X Shifts in Annum) x 1000
= 8 x 0.9 x 24 x 330 x 1000
= 57024000 Units.

ii)

POWER PLANT SELF CONSUMPTION: (Mw) X 12% Consumption X Loading Factor X Hours X Shift in Annum X 1000
= 8 x 0.12 x 0.9 x 24 x 330 x 1000
= 6842880 Units.

iii)

POWER AVAILABLE IN DOWN STREAM: Annual Power Generation - Power Plant Self consumption.
= 57024000 - 6842880
= 50181120 Units.

iv)

FUEL REQUIREMENT: As Per Design = 4077 Kg/Hr.

=> 4077 x 24 x 330 = 32314 Tonnes / Annum
