Reference Plant

← Previous | Next →

The Reference Plant parameter screen is only available when some form of CO2 capture is selected on the Plant Design screen. It is the same for all plant types.

The following reference plant inputs are specified to determine the cost of CO2 avoided. The default value is zero for both parameters, requiring the user to specify the actual reference plant values. Reference values can be obtained by simulating the same plant configuration without CO2 capture. The reference plant parameters required are:

•CO2 Emission Rate: This is the emission rate for the reference power plant (without CO2 capture).

•Cost of Electricity: This is the cost of electricity for the reference power plant (without CO2 capture).
