  2. 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions & Electric Power Industry • United States is the source of 1/4 of the world’s GHG emissions. • Electric power industry accounts for 38 percent of the nation’s overall carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and one-third of the overall U.S. GHG emissions. • 39 states have or are developing State Action Plans specially targeting GHG emission reductions. -- Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) -- California Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32)

  3. 3 Electric Power System Features That Impact CO2 Emissions • CO2 emission factors by type of fuel • Unit thermal efficiency • Regional generation mix • Electricity demand • Transmission constraints

  4. 4 CO2 Emission Factors (EF) by Type of Fuel (lb CO2/MBtu) Source: S. Goodman, M. Walker, “Benchmarking air emissions of the 100 largest electric power producers in the united states – 2004”, Apr. 2006

Bus 1 Bus 2 P1 = 400 MW 800 MW Load G1 (400 MW coal-fired generation unit) 400 MW P2 = 400 MW Two-bus, two-generator power system G2 (400 MW gas-fired generation unit) CO2 emission factor is 215 lbs/Mbtu for coal and 117 lbs/Mbtu for gas. Heat rate data of 400 MW fossil fired generation units came from “A. J. Wood, B. F. Wollenberg, Power Generation, Operation, and Control, John Wiley & Sons, 1996.”

  6. 6 Unit thermal Efficiency and CO2 Emissions One kilowatt hour (kWh) has a thermal equivalent of approximately 3412 Btu.

  23. Conclusions 23 • CO2 emissions from electricpower industry are impacted by several power system features; ignoring any of them will incur errors in analysis. • CO2 emission-constrained ac OPFis a powerful tool that considers all the features that impact CO2 emissions from electricpower generation. • CO2 emission-constrained ac OPF, which can be realized in commercial and educational power system software or developed as stand-alone software, has potential to be utilized for investigating and assessing the effects, including costs and reliability, of GHG limits on electric power industry. • Simulation results indicate that the effects of GHG limits on electric power system dispatch and operations are sensitive to several factors such as system load levels, fuel prices etc. • In current high gas price situation, it is quite expensive to reduce CO2 emissions by switching from coal power generation to gas power generation.
