ABSTRACT
Energy studies are an indispensable tool in
the analysis of thermal power plants. This research focused on the application
of energy efficiency analysis in the determination of the operational
performance of an in-service power plant, and the quantity of emissions due to
fossil fuel burning. Daily and monthly energy-use data was obtained from Ibom
power plant, Akwa Ibom State for very recent periods in this regard. The
performance indices comprises energy efficiency trend, carbon emission index,
and gross output in energy outputs. Performance analysis shows very large
amount of emissions into the atmosphere with corresponding fair energy
efficiencies which is comparable with other power plants. The energy
efficiencies for the considered period fluctuates between 20.99 % and 34.72 %,
and represents a superficial assessment of the plant performance with ambient
conditions. The emission trend is linear in the sense ofits relationship with the
emission coefficient for carbon dioxide and will continue to increase with
population and energy demand. Consequently, it is recommended to check these
emissions by exploring power plants operations using gasification of biomass.
Furthermore, the idea of CO2 capture technologies should be given attention.
This will assist in checking further emissions into the atmosphere and help
protect the environment.
