Calculation Formula

Power Generation (kW) = (Coal Consumption (kg/hour) × Heat Value (kJ/kg) × Plant Efficiency) / 3600

Where:
- Coal Consumption: Amount of coal burned per hour
- Heat Value: Energy content of coal per kilogram
- Plant Efficiency: Percentage of energy converted to electricity

Coal Fired Power Generation Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Coal Fired Power Generation Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the coal consumption in kg/hour.
  2. Enter the heat value of the coal in kJ/kg.
  3. Enter the plant efficiency as a percentage.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to get the power generation in kW.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over.

Working Principle

The calculator estimates the power generation from a coal-fired power plant using the following formula:

Power Generation (kW) = (Coal Consumption (kg/hour) × Heat Value (kJ/kg) × Plant Efficiency) / 3600

This formula calculates the electrical power output based on the amount of coal burned, the energy content of the coal, and the efficiency of the power plant.

Example

If a coal-fired power plant burns 500 kg of coal per hour with a heat value of 24,000 kJ/kg and has an efficiency of 35%, the power generation would be:

Power Generation = (500 × 24,000 × 0.35) / 3600 = 1,000 kW
