Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Electric Power
Industry

  • United States is the source of 1/4 of the worlds
    GHG emissions.
  • Electric power industry accounts for 38 percent
    of the nations 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)

Breakeven Price of CO2
Coal price is 1.90 /MBtu Coal CO2 emission
factor is 215 lb/MBtu Gas CO2 emission factor is
117 lb/MBtu
  • Gas price is 3.8 /MBtu
  • Breakeven price of CO2 is around 50 /ton
  • Gas price is 5.7 /MBtu
  • Breakeven price of CO2 is around 100 /ton

70 /ton
180 /ton
280 /ton
  • At CO2 price of 70 /ton, coal and gas power
    generation start to shift.
  • At CO2 price of 180 /ton, gas power generation
    almost equals coal power generation.
  • At CO2 price of 280 /ton, major shifting
    process is finished.
  • CO2 emissions decrease from 928 tons/h at CO2
    price of 0 /ton to 514 tons/h at CO2 price of
    280 /ton, a 44.6 reduction.
  • The system fuel costs increase from 18595 /h at
    CO2 price of 0 /ton to 79255 /h at CO2 price of
    280 /ton, a 326 increase.

Conclusions
23
  • CO2 emissions from electric power industry are
    impacted by several power system features
    ignoring any of them will incur errors in
    analysis.
  • CO2 emission-constrained ac OPF is a powerful
    tool that considers all the features that impact
    CO2 emissions from electric power 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.
