In 2018-19 academic year, an energy inventory and analysis indicated that approximately 190,000 MWh of electricity was consumed on the main VT campus. This included the self-generation by the on-campus power plant (25,000 MWh consumed from the self-generation) and the remainder purchased from the local utility. Assume that both of these values are measured at the campus buildings/facilities, after the transmission loss, to simplify the analysis. (Tons = Short tons = 2000 lbs) 1. Calculate the amount of primary or input energy (MWh) required for the electricity purchased from the electrical utility over the 2018-19 academic year. Assume the efficiency of the electricity power plant is 35% and the transmission loss from the power plant to campus is 4.5%. 2. Calculate the amount of coal (tons) and natural gas in thousand cubic feet (MCF) that are needed for the electrical utility to generate this much energy assuming the fuel mix provided in table 1 below. Assume the average energy density of the coal is 20 million Btu/ton 2 and the average energy content of 1 cubic foot (cf) of natural gas consumed in Virginia is 1,050 Btu.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
