SELF ASSESSMENT 1.

1. Convert the TOE into GWh, then into Joule
Solution
1 TOE = 1.00 x 1010 Cal = 41.868 GJ = 39.68 MBTU
And 1Wh = 3600 J
This implies that
41.868 x 1009 J = 1 TOE
Now,
If 3600 J = 1Wh
Then 41.868 x 1009 J = 41.868 x 1009/3600
= 11.63 MWh
= 0.01163 GWh
Thus 1 TOE = 0.01163 GWh
And also,
1 TOE = 41.868 x 1009 J
2. Convert 1 MWh into GJ, then into TCE
Solution
1 Wh = 3600 J
1 x 1006 Wh = 3600 x 1006 J
1 MWh = 3.6 x 1009 J
1 MWh = 3.6 GJ
Also
1 TCE = 29.3 GJ
Now,
If 29.3 GJ = 1 TCE
Then 3.6 GJ = 3.6/29.3
= 0.1228 TCE
But since 3.6 GJ = 1 MWh
It implies that
1 MWh = 0.1228 TCE
SELF ASSESSMENT 1.3
1. Energy produced by running a 1000 MW can for 24 hours equals
E=Pxt
E = 1000 x 24
E = 24000 MWh

Now in TWh,
24000 MWh = 0.024 TWh
And in GJ,
1 MWh = 3.6 GJ (this portion is obtained from exercise 2 of self
assessment 1.2)
Therefore ,
24000 MWh = 24000 x 3.6 GJ
= 86400 GJ
In MBTU,
41.868 GJ = 39.68 MBTU
Therefore,
86400 GJ = 39.68 x (86400/41.868)
= 81884.78 MBTU
