The Evaluation of Development Plan for Doroud Gaseous Powerhouse

There are many industrial unites affected by the lack of proper survey regarding the plans related and also there exist many projects needing financial support. So, the correct evaluation of plans is necessary to reduce the costs and financial sources. There is a possibility for a case study in Doroud’s Powerhouse to increase the capacity of outputs by building a gaseous powerhouse beside two other powerhouses. This issue, considering technological advances and energy consumptions, can provide social welfare. Moreover, one of the purposes is to find out the return of financial sources. To reach such an idea, the researchers in this study will investigate some items such as the voltage and the frequency of the network, updating the technology used, absorbing of financial sources, reducing electricity cut, entrepreneurship, and absorbing experts in this field. There are three main hypotheses in this study including; (a) the first one refers to building more gaseous units and increasing the capacity of the units, (b) the second one refers to the point that building a new gaseous powerhouse in Doroud can increase the social welfare, and (c) the third one refers to the idea that building a modern gaseous powerhouse can increase the return of financial sources and entrepreneurship. To gather the data needed, the researchers used a questionnaire. In order to analysis the hypotheses, a descriptive method of analyzing is used. The results of the study show that after evaluating the first hypothesis by two Engineering-Economy techniques (ROR and BEP) in three situations, it is accepted. Moreover, regarding the second and the third hypotheses, the results show that by means of questionnaires and statistical indexes, they both are accepted. Therefore, it is confirmed that building a new gaseous powerhouse in Doroud is justified and logical financially, technically and socially.
