Peak daily coal requirement

Peak daily coal requirement shall be met by 14 hrs operating hours of coal handlingplant so that balance 10 hrs per
day are available for upkeep and maintenance. Ten (10%)percent margin shall be considered over the peak daily
coal requirement (based on GC of worst coal and normative heat rate) for arriving at the rated capacity of the
coalhandling plant. Margin is provided to take care of the variation in the GCV of the coalreceived, aging of the
equipment and different operating conditions of the CHP equipment. Typically for a 2x500 MW plant, capacity is
worked out as under
