Methodology for implementing power plant efficiency standards for power generation: potential emission reduction
Abstrakt
Some methods of generating power such as power generation through coal, natural gas, oil result in inevitable emissions of greenhouse gases. While power generation is necessary due to its increasing demand, it is important for power companies to generate their power in an efcient manner to reduce its efect on the environment. One of the most efective ways of tackling inefciency issues is through the implementation of efciency standard. While there exist a lot of studies addressing the topic of energy efciency standards, there are very few papers that deal specifcally with efciency standard for power generation plant. This paper presents methodology for the implementation of power plant efciency standard; as mandatory or voluntary regulatory instrument, that may be implemented by the government to control greenhouse emissions from power plants. It is hoped that through its implementation, power companies shall become more conscious of their efciency and emission quality, hereby encouraging the adoption of more efcient energy sources and latest available technologies. In this paper, methods of calculating greenhouse intensity value and its corresponding allowable ranges have been demonstrated. Case study on a 10-year-old base-load multi-fuel-fred power plant in Malaysia has shown that the power plant is in conformance to the power plant efciency standard, with an actual greenhouse intensity of 859.4461 kgCO2/MWh sent-out, well within the allowable range of greenhouse intensities for that power plant which is between 760 and 890 kgCO2/MWh sent-out. It has also been demonstrated that older power plants are allowed to have higher values of greenhouse intensity. Benefts of utilising natural gas and operating the power plant at full load have also been shown.
