ELECTRICITY PRICING PRODUCTION FROM COMBINED POWER PLANT

Abstract

The main goal of combination the power plant is to achieved high efficiency in addition to reduced the production cost of the unit power produced from the plant.This work included the cost calculation of power unit which produced from a combined power plant and the comparison this cost with that power produced from gas turbine power plant, the results shows that the price of unit power which produced from combined plant is less when the annual operation hours is more than 600 hr. This work shows also the effect of different parameter such as thermal efficiency, fuel price, and the operation years on the power unit price.
