Abstract
Petroleum coke is not by-product of refinery, have been started using alternative fuel for energy production because of high carbon content and low ash rate. Growing energy demand in our country and even the World leads to the depletion of fossil resources life time. In this study, coal and petroleum coke fired thermal power plants are compared considering capital costs, operating costs and annual maintenance costs.
