Extracted text: 2. A generating unit of 10 MW capacity supplies the following loads: Domestic consumers with a maximum demand of 6 MW at a load factor of 50%. Small industrial load with a maximum demand of 3.6 MW at a load factor of 50%. Street light load with a maximum demand of 400 kW at a load factor of 30%. Capital cost of the plant is $100 per kW. Total running cost is $360,000 per year. Depreciation on capital cost is 10%. Estimate the overall energy cost per kWh for each type of consumer. The capital cost of a power generating equipment in a steam power plant is $800000. The useful life of the plant is 30 years and its salvage value is 5% of the capital cost. Determine by the sinking fund method the amount of money to be saved annually for replacement if 3. the yearly rate of compound interest is 6%.
