Calculate the cost of generation per KWh for a power station having the following data Installed capacity of the plant: 200 MW Capital cost: Rs 400 crores Rate of interest and depreciation = 12 % Annual cost of fuel, salaries and tax = Rs 500 crores Load factor = 50 %

Calculate the cost of generation per KWh for a power station having the following data

Installed capacity of the plant: 200 MW

Capital cost:    Rs 400 crores

Rate of interest and depreciation = 12 %

Annual cost of fuel, salaries and tax = Rs 500 crores

Load factor = 50 %

Also estimate the saving in cost per KWhr if the annual load factor is raised to 60 %
