Fuel Consumption Calculation Methodology
This calculator estimates fuel consumption for power plants based on plant capacity, efficiency, and fuel calorific value.
- Formula: Fuel/hr (kg) = (Capacity × 1000 × 860) / (Calorific Value × Efficiency)
- Total Fuel: Fuel/hr × Total Operating Hours
- Fuel Cost: Optional input for cost estimation
- This tool assumes continuous operation at rated load with consistent fuel properties.
