AbstractAbstract
[en] This study presents alternative-fuel options for power generation for Jordan. The economics of using alternative fuels, i.e. important natural gas, heavy fuel oil and coal as well as local oil shale to supply power plants are compared in terms of medium range production economics. A net present value model was used to compare unit electricity generation cost from different kinds of power plants. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the influence of the most important variable, such as unit capital and fuel prices, discount and inflation rates. The choice of natural gas as a future primary fuel to supply combined cycle gas turbine power stations, in Jordan, is highly recommended. The results of this study agree with those obtained from similar power stations, which are now operating commercially in the international market.(Author)
