EXERCISE 2

1. Figure 1 shows the annual fluctuation of heat consumption of a community. Sketch


the annual load duration curve (pysyvyyskäyrä in Finnish) of heat consumption and
calculate

a) mean power
b) annual full-capacity operating hours (huipunkäyttöaika in Finnish)
c) capacity factor (käyttökerroin in Finnish)
d) annual heat consumption

2. Figure 2 shows the load duration curve of heat production of a heat power plant.
Heat is produced using two boilers: 5 MW peat boiler and 5 MW oil boiler. Peat
boiler is used in power range from 1 MW to 5 MW for basic heat production. Oil
boiler is used for producing the additional heat at times the heat power demand is
over 5 MW. Also, under 1 MW heat power demand, the heat is produced by oil
boiler.

Calculate
a) annual full-capacity operating hours of the entire power plant
b) annual full-capacity operating hours of the oil boiler
c) annual full-capacity operating hours of the peat boiler
