Hydropower
One of the outstanding facts about nuclear power is the large amount of energy that can be released from a small mass of active material.
Nuclear Energy
Geothermal Powerplant
Connected load
In many places on the earth natural steam escapes from surface vents. Such natural steam wells suggest the possibility of tapping terrestrial heat (or geothermal energy) in this form and using it for the development of power.

The cost use of money
DEPRECIATION
INTEREST
FIXED COST
The decrease in the value of the power plant equipment and building due to constant use
DEPRECIATION
FIXED COST
INTEREST
It is the cost which is independent of maximum demand and units generated salaries
RUNNING COST
SEMI-FIXED COST
FIXED COST
It is the cost which depends upon maximum demand but is independent units generated
FIXED COST
SEMI-FIXED COST
RUNNING COST
It is the cost which depends only upon the number of units generated
RUNNING COST
SEMI-FIXED COST
FIXED COST
In this method, the overall annual cost of electrical energy generated is divided into three parts viz fixed cost, semi-fixed cost and running cost
THREE PART FORM
TWO PART FORM
RUNNING COST
It is sometimes convenient to give the annual cost of energy in two part form
TWO PART FORM
THREE PART FORM
RUNNING COST
In this method, a constant depreciation charge is made every year on the basis of total depreciation and the useful life of the property
DIMINISHING VALUE METHOD
STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
SINKING FUND METHOD
In this method, depreciation charge is made every year at a fixed rate on the diminished value of the equipment.
SINKING FUND METHOD
STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
DIMINISHING VALUE METHOD
In this method, a fixed depreciation charge is made every year and interest compounded on it annually
SINKING FUND METHOD
DIMINISHING VALUE METHOD
STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
