S-7 A thermal power plant uses 0.7kg of coal to generate one KWh of electricity. If the coal
contains 38% carbon by weight, calculate the amount of CO2 emission/KWh under
complete combustion.
Solution:
Amount of carbon present in coal= 0.7*38/100 = 0.266 kg
As per chemical reaction,
C + O2 = CO2
1 kg of carbon generates 44/12 kg of carbon dioxide (CO 2) under complete
combustion

L 1 The production capacity of a paper drying machine is 500 TPD and is currently operating
at an output of 480 TPD. To find out the steam requirement for drying, the Energy Manager
measures the dryness of the paper both at inlet and outlet of the paper drying machine
which were found to be 60% and 95% respectively.
The steam is supplied at 3.5 kg/cm2, having a latent heat of 513 kCal/kg. The evaporated
moisture temperature is around 100 0C having enthalpy of 640 kCal/kg. Plant operates 24
hours per day. Assume only latent heat of steam is being used for drying the paper and
neglect the enthalpy of the moisture in the wet paper.
Ans:
Output of the drying machine = 480 TPD with 95% dryness.
Bone dry mass of paper at the output = 480 x 0.95 = 456 TPD
(2 marks)
Since the dryness at the inlet is 60%,
Total mass of wet paper at the inlet = (456 x 100) / 60 = 760 TPD
(2 marks)
Moisture evaporated per hour = (760 480)/ 24 = 11.67TPH

I. Normalizing
II. Benchmarking
Ans:
a) I) Normalizing
The energy use of facilities varies greatly, partly due to factors beyond the
energy efficiency of the equipment and operations. These factors may include
weather or certain operating characteristics. Normalizing is the process of
removing the impact of various factors on energy use so that energy
performance of facilities and operations can be compared.

II) Benchmarking
Substituting existing fossil fuels/energy with more efficient and / or less cost/less polluting
fuel.

CV of Mix Gas =
[(75,000 x 4,000) + (50,000 x 2,000) + (55,000 x 1,500) + (80,000 x 700)] / 2,60,000
Ans:
Maximum Demand
Maximum demand is the highest average kVA recorded during any one-demand interval
within the month. The demand interval is normally 30 minutes, but may vary from utility
to utility from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. The demand is measured using a tri-vector
meter / digital energy meter.
(2.5 Marks)
Contract Demand
Contract demand is the amount of electric power that a customer demands from utility in
a specified interval. Unit used is kVA or kW. It is the amount of electric power that the
consumer agreed upon with the utility. This would mean that utility has to plan for the
specified capacity.
(2.5 Marks)
Load factor
It is the ratio of average load to maximum load. In other words, it is the ratio of energy
consumed during a given period of time to the maximum energy demand if maximum
load is maintained throughout that time period
