How to Lower Power Plant Emissions – some suggestions
How to Lower Power Plant Emissions – some suggestions
Here are my simple suggestions on how to lower power plant emissions and address global warming and climate change issues.
—————-
Hi Jeff,
I am not an environmental scientist, but this I can say.
As long as your liquid fuel has lower than 1% Sulfur by weight, you will not exceed SO2 concentration (in volume % or parts per million by volume or as mg/Nm3 or milligram per normal cubic meter) required by the EPA (usually given in ppm and mg/Nm3 for both old and new power plants).
Having sufficient excess air (3-15% or average of 9%) will help eliminate unburnt fuel emission such as CO (carbon monoxide) and THC (total hydro carbon) as well as unburnt carbon (C) particles.
You also need to lower impurities such as ash to reduce total suspended solids (TSP) emissions (ash and unburnt carbon fuel).
To lower NOx emissions, the firing of oil must be done in stages so that the flame is not too hot that it will dissociate nitrogen (N2) in the air into oxides of nitrogen (NOx) that contributes to acid rain together with oxides of sulfur (SOx).
But this days, you have to address global warming and climate change issues by lowering your carbon (C) or as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This means keeping the fuel to electricity conversion efficiency (thermal efficiency) as high as possible, which is typically around 33-36% for oil thermal power plants based on the steam Rankin cycle. To lower the carbon footprint, you need to move away from the simple steam Rankin cycle to combined cycles (CCGT) to raise efficiency to over 54-59%, almost double, thus reducing the carbon footprint by almost half.
Hope I was of help,
Marcial

How to make a top-of-the-line project finance model for wind energy
How to make a top-of-the-line project finance model for wind energy
After many years of financial modeling experience, including working for international development agencies, your favorite energy technology selection and business development consultant is providing his audience with a template for making state-of-the-art project finance model for individual wind turbines and wind farms in hybrid with fossil power generation (peak load and base load units in order to allow the massive penetration of wind energy into the grid without undermining the grid’s stability, voltage and frequency).
Here is the sample template model showing the main topics and a few columns of the model. The model is broken down into the following sections: More »
Feed-in Tariff Models for Renewable Energy – biomass, cogen, mini-hydro, wind, solar and ocean thermal (OTEC)
Feed-in Tariff Models for Renewable Energy – biomass, cogen, mini-hydro, wind, solar and ocean thermal (OTEC)
Renewable energy feed-in tariffs for biomass, biomass cogen, mini-hydro or run-of-river hydro, wind, solar PV and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) have been calculated using a project finance model prepared for the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) by Marcial Ocampo – your favorite energy technology expert.
Using standard assumptions of supplier FOB, the all-in capital cost is calculated. The summary sheet of the model then summarizes the assumptions and results.

New Summary Report Format for Project Finance Model for Feed-in Tariff
New Summary Report Format for Project Finance Model for Feed-in Tariff
A new and improved summary report format for the state-of-the-art project finance model has been developed and ready for implementation in all small scale, large scale and renewable energy project finance models.
Please refer to the sample format below and the author would appreciate receiving your valuable feedback.
Two formats are available: one for renewable energy projects without fuel requirement (mini-hydro, wind, solar) and those with fuels (biomass, cogen and other fossil-fired power plants such as diesel, coal, oil and natural gas).
This is to enable presentation of the plant heat rate and conversion efficiency from fuel energy to electrical energy as well as lube oil consumption rate.

The energy expert and author of this blog is inviting his dedicated viewers to email him or comment on this blog.
The first 20 viewers who will email him for the next 48 hours starting this day of March 25, 2010 at 24:00 hours (12 midnight) Philippine Time will receive a demo copy of his famous project finance models for calculating feed-in tariff. If he is satisfied, he may order the working copy by proceeding to the DONATE button or to the ENERGY DATA page of his blog.
Feed-in tariff is a regulatory mechanism developed to encourage the development and growth of Renewable Energy by encouraging RE power generation technologies such as biomass energy, mini-hydro, wind, solar and ocean energy.
It is a fixed tariff calculated using the discounted cash flow internal rate of return (DCF IRR) which compares the equity portion (usually 30%) of the all-in project cost (land, equipment, project development, working capital, interest during construction) to the expected net cash flow.
It is usually a fixed tariff for a minimum period of 15 years that allows the RE developer to recover the cost of capital (equity and debt), allowable generation cost, and provide reasonable profit at the minimum equity returns needed by investors.
What are you waiting for. Email me now and be the among the lucky first 20 viewers to receive the demo copy.

Project Finance Model for Generic Diesel & RE Hybrid Power Plant
Project Finance Model for Generic Diesel & RE Hybrid Power Plant
The determination of optimal combination of diesel and renewable energy (RE) hybrid power plant is sometimes a difficult exercise for the project developer and EPC contractor.
After an inventory of the available fuel and RE resources in a particular location and application, the next step is to determine thru project finance modeling the economics of a stand alone diesel generator power plant (usually a compression ignition diesel engine running on expensive diesel fuel, gas oil, light fuel oil and bunker fuel oil), and considering a hybrid configuration using biomass resources (biomass gasification with diesel engine, landfill methane with diesel engine, sewage digestion or biogas with diesel engine, municipal solid waste with steam turbine generator, biomass direct combustion with steam turbine generator, biomass co-firing with fossil coal and oil, mini-hydro, wind farm and solar PV).
