Just thinking Chandgana's 3306 Kcal/kg coals provide its mine/mouth power plant with the ability to provide 600MWhr, or 600 x 1000 x 24 x 360, or about 5.184 Billion Kwh annually. I wonder how many tonne of Ulaan Ovoo's 5040 Kcal/kg coal would be required to provide 300MWhr of power for a mine/mouth plant at the Ulaan Ovoo border area.
I”m sure that Kcal/kg ratings do not provide a straight line increase in power production based on their respective Kcal/kg numbers. Does anyone have an idea of what the relationship for increases Kcal/kg numbers would be for coal plants of the same design?
Taking an uneducated stab, lets say the 5040 Kcal/kg value were decreased by 20% and give 4032 Kcal/kg, then Ulaan Ovoo's coals could provide 4032/3306. or about 1,22 times those at Chandgana.
If so then a potential Russian Mongolia Joint Venture Mine/Mouth Plant in the Zeltura Border area producing 300 MW of Power could possibly require 3,600,000/2 x 1.22, or about 1,475,000 tonne coal annually..
!.5 Million tonne could increase coal production at Ulaan Ovoo considerably and provide power to both Russia, Mongolia and its Capital Ulaanbataar which is 256 miles away.
