Study Notes
Electrical Power Supply System
- Base Load: the constant part of the total load on an electrical power supply system
- Intermediate Load: the range from base load to a point between baseload and peak
- Capacity Factor: the ratio between the power plant's average production compared to its rated capability
- Load Factor: the measure of the output of a power plant compared to the maximum output it could produce
- Installed Capacity: the amount of power or output that a generator can produce at any given point of time or instantaneously
- Dependable Capacity: the capacity that can be relied upon to carry system load for a specific time, provide assumed reserve, and/or meet firm power obligations
- Heat Rate: the amount of energy that the fuel must supply to produce a unit of electrical energy and represents the overall efficiency of a power plant
Power Plants
- Baseload Power Plant: a power plant devoted to the production of baseload supply to meet electrical demand
- Peaking Power Plant: a power plant that is generally run during peak demand for electricity
Power Supply Agreement (PSA)
- A bilateral agreement between a Generation Company (GenCo) and a Distribution Utility (DU) for the purchase and supply of power
- ERC reviews and approves PSAs to regulate retail rates and promote efficiency
Retail Rate
- Comprises around 40% to 60% of the generation charge
- Includes costs associated with energy purchases from power generation sources
- Power generation sources:
- Oil-based: 18%
- Coal: 33%
- Hydro: 21%
- Renewable: 0.1%
- Geothermal: 11%
- Natural Gas: 16.9%
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policy
- Aims to provide a safe working environment by ensuring the use of appropriate PPE
- Exceptions: situations where PPE may not be feasible, instances where alternative safety measures provide equivalent protection
- Limitations: duration of PPE usage, conditions under which PPE might not be effective, guidelines to ensure proper and effective use of PPE
- Selection of proper equipment: considers type and degree of hazard, worker comfort, and supplier consultation
- Proper training: includes describing hazards, explaining PPE necessity and capabilities, demonstrating PPE use, and practicing PPE usage
Rate Structure Review
- Fuel Recovery Fee/Energy Fee: a variable cost that allows recovery of fuel consumed to generate power, dependent on the plant heat rate
