This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Thermal Energy, Thermal Energy plants use cheaper fuels like Natural gas and Light crude oil Therfore (ArgScheme: Modus Ponens) The opperating an maintenance costs for Thermal Energy is lower than other sources, The turbines built during Ghana's energy crisis in 1997 were online before the facility was constructed. ???? Thermal Power Plants can be built quickly, Thermal Power Plants can be built quickly Therefore (ArgScheme: equivalence) The combined information siding with Thermal energy, lower opperating costs, potential for expansion of current systems in place and in the future, and the ability for these plants to be built quickly make Thermal Energy a viable option for energy/ power in Ghana., CMS Energy Corperation, from Detroit, Michigan, bought 50% rigths to the plant in 1998 and immediately created plans for ixpansion Therfore (ArgScheme: Modus Ponens) There is currently in place a 300 MW capacity plant with potential for expansion up to 900 MW, A 1985 Study identified combustion turbines as the most attractive power supplement to the existing hydroelectric system Therefore (ArgScheme: equivalence) The combined information siding with Thermal energy, lower opperating costs, potential for expansion of current systems in place and in the future, and the ability for these plants to be built quickly make Thermal Energy a viable option for energy/ power in Ghana., There is currently in place a 300 MW capacity plant with potential for expansion up to 900 MW Therefore (ArgScheme: equivalence) The combined information siding with Thermal energy, lower opperating costs, potential for expansion of current systems in place and in the future, and the ability for these plants to be built quickly make Thermal Energy a viable option for energy/ power in Ghana., If outside interest exists and is willing to invest in Ghana's Thermal System, Then there is potential for expansion at current and new plant sites. Therfore (ArgScheme: Modus Ponens) There is currently in place a 300 MW capacity plant with potential for expansion up to 900 MW, Thermal Energy is Believed to be a viable option for Future expansion and Development in Ghana Therefore (ArgScheme: equivalence) The combined information siding with Thermal energy, lower opperating costs, potential for expansion of current systems in place and in the future, and the ability for these plants to be built quickly make Thermal Energy a viable option for energy/ power in Ghana., If Thermal systems can be online before the surrounding facility is completed, then Thermal Power Plants can be built quickly ???? Thermal Power Plants can be built quickly, The opperating an maintenance costs for Thermal Energy is lower than other sources Therefore (ArgScheme: equivalence) The combined information siding with Thermal energy, lower opperating costs, potential for expansion of current systems in place and in the future, and the ability for these plants to be built quickly make Thermal Energy a viable option for energy/ power in Ghana., If Thermal Energy uses cheaper fuel, then it will have lower opperating and maintanence costs Therfore (ArgScheme: Modus Ponens) The opperating an maintenance costs for Thermal Energy is lower than other sources
