Performance analysis of Bunker C and Diesel Fuels in Thermoelectric Generation Plants in Honduras

Abstract

This report is an exploratory and documentary research on the performance of electricity generation technologies with the use of fossil fuels (Bunker and Diesel). As there is no technical information on the generators used in the country, the analysis consists of comparing the theoretical estimates obtained from typical operating data with the data reported by the National Electric Power Company (ENEE) and ODS (Operator of the Electric Power System). This work arises as a need to have a technical support resource to validate, correct and improve the criteria used by the Secretary of State in the Energy Office (SEN) in technical opinions of the requests made by electricity generating companies for the tax exemption process in the amount for the Contribution for Attention to Social Programs and Conservation of Road Assets (ACPV).
