Emission Generators Removal Rate

Units:	%
Mode:	Input Only
Multi-band:	False
Default Value:	0
Validation Rule:	Between 0 And 100
Key Property:	No
Description:	Proportion of emissions removed (scrubbed)
Detail:

Emission Generators Removal Rate is the proportion of emissions, produced by the Generator that are removed/scrubbed/sequestered by the Generator.

Emissions are produced when Generation occurs through the definition of one or a combination of Generators Production Rate, and by way of the Generator Fuels and/or Start Fuels memberships, the Fuels Production Rate properties. This Removal Rate is applied against both sources.

Example

Generator	Property	Value	Units
Steam1	Units	1	-
Steam1	Max Capacity	600	MW
Steam1	Heat Rate	10	GJ/MWh

Fuel	Property	Value	Units
Coal	Price	5	$/GJ

Assume Generator "Steam1" uses Fuel "Coal" and that "Coal" is a producer of Emission "CO2".

Emission.Fuels	Property	Value	Units
"CO2" Fuels "Coal"	Production Rate	94.33	kg/GJ

To define the Removal Rate we put the Generator into the Emission Generators collection and set the property thus:

Emission.Generators	Property	Value	Units
"CO2" Generators "Steam1"	Removal Rate	50	%

In this example 1 MWh of Generation uses 10 GJ of "Coal" and produces 10 × 94.33 = 943.3 kg of "CO2" but 50% of this is removed to give a net Production of 471.65 kg.
