My son plans to add a chilled ammonia CO 2 capture system to his 15 year old pulverized coal plant. The plant has a 608.1 MW net nameplate capacity, an 8776 Btu/kWh net heat rate, and a 75% capacity factor. (a) If the chilled ammonia scrubber requires 99.61 MW to operate, what is the new heat rate? Assume that the plant's capacity factor and annual coal consumption remain the same. (b) Does the heat rate change in part (b) reflect an energy penalty or a derating? Why? What is the energy penalty or derating value?
