    Question 1: (PLO1, CLO1, C2) (5+5+5=15 Marks)


    Considering the availability of resources, which type of plant will be more suitable for each of the region
    given below. Explain the reasons to choose the type of power plant, summarize the steps to follow for the
    installation of that power plant along with the machinery required and schematic diagram.

    a) The coastal areas of Sind and Balochistan (away from local population), considering the availability of
    water resources which type of plant will be more suitable resulting minimum running cost, minimum
    space required for installation and maximum power generation capacity.
    b) The Thal desert of Punjab, Pakistan.
    c) The Gilgit Baltistan region which is famous for its highest mountains, beautiful land scape and wild
    rivers.

    Question 2: (PLO1, CLO2, C3) (1+2+2=5 Marks)


    Consider a thermal power plant that has a maximum capacity of 880MW. The power plant uses 0.329 liters of
    fuel to produce one electricity unit, i.e., 1kWh of energy. Suppose in a certain billing month (30 days), the power
    plant has produced 411GWh of energy.
    a) Compute the electricity units produced by the power plant in one month.
    b) Assume a fuel price of 65 Rs/liter. Compute the total fuel cost (in Rs) of generating these units.
    Note: Convert your final answer into Millions (M); 1M=106

    c) Capacity factor of a power plant is defined as: “the net energy generated, for the time period considered,
    to the energy that could have been generated at continuous full-power operation during the same period".
    Based on the given information, Compute the capacity factor of the power plant.
