Variable Cost Calculations

1)

Specific Oil Consumption

1 ml/kWh
0.001 l/kWh

2)

Cost of Specific Oil Consumption Specific Oil Consumption X Cost of Oil/Litre

0.06 Rs/kWh

3)

Heat Contribution of Oil

4)

Station Heat Rate

GCV of Oil * Sp Oil Consumption

10 Kcal/KWh
Heat Contribution of Oil + Heat Contribution of
coal

Therefore Heat Contribution of Coal

Station Heat Rate - Heat Contribution of Oil

2365 Kcal/KWh

5)

Specific Coal Consumption

Heat Contribution of Coal / GCV of Coal

2365/3500
0.676 Kg/KWh

6)

Cost of Specific Coal ConsumptionSp Coal Consumption * Cost Of Coal

0.676*1237/1000
0.836 Rs/KWh

Hence Total Variable Cost per Unit

Specific Coal Consumption + Specific Oil

Consumption
0.896 Rs/KWh

NOTE
5.75% of power Generated is consumed in auxiliary.
So Variable cost per Unit at bus bar
