Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant - an overview ...

Coal is the dominating fuel source used in thermal power plants for generation of electricity. At the coal-fired thermal power plants, the raw coal is first pulverized to the shape of flour before it is force-fed to the furnace. During the pulverization process, the clay particles entrapped in the cracks of coal get separated from the coal.

How to Calculate the Coal Quantity Used in a Power Plant ...

2009-10-15 · Coal trader’s web sites give base prices in the international market. We take a coal price of around 65 $ / Ton. The cost of coal consumed by 100 MW power plant is (53.8 x 65) 3497 $ /hr. A 100 MW unit produces 100,000 units of electricity. So the cost of coal per unit of electricity is (3497/100,000) 3.5 cents per unit.
