{longname}Q753. How do I use Equation C-2b to calculate the annual average high heating value (HHV) of my fuel if the rule requires sampling less frequently than monthly?
{longname}

A753.

...

You

...

use

...

the

...

HHV

...

and

...

fuel

...

quantity

...

values

...

that

...

represent

...

the

...

less

...

frequent

...

sampling

...

period

...

(i.e.

...

quarterly,

...

semiannually)

...

in

...

place

...

of

...

the

...

monthly

...

values

...

that

...

are

...

normally

...

used

...

in

...

Equation

...

C-2b.

...

Two

...

examples

...

are

...

provided

...

below.

...

Example

...

1

...

:

...

Natural

...

gas

...

fuel

...

is

...

sampled

...

semiannually

...

and

...

the

...

results

...

for

...

the

...

first

...

and

...

second

...

semiannual

...

periods

...

are

...

1,020

...

Btu/scf

...

and

...

980

...

Btu/scf,

...

respectively,

...

and

...

the

...

respective

...

semiannual

...

fuel

...

quantities

...

are

...

1,000

...

scf

...

and

...

2,500

...

scf.

...

You

...

would

...

calculate

...

the

...

annual

...

average

...

HHV

...

using

...

Equation

...

C-2b

...

as

...

follows:

...

(HHV)annual

...

=

...

[((1,020

...

Btu/scf)

...

x

...

(1,000

...

scf)

...

+

...

(980

...

Btu/scf)

...

x

...

(2,500

...

scf))/3,500

...

scf

...

]

...

=

...

991

...

Btu/scf

...

Example

...

2

...

:

...

Everything

...

is

...

the

...

same

...

as

...

in

...

Example

...

1

...

except

...

that

...

you

...

missed

...

sampling

...

during

...

the

...

first

...

semiannual

...

period.

...

In

...

this

...

situation,

...

the

...

missing

...

data

...

procedures

...

would

...

apply.

...

Per

...

98.35(b)(1),

...

you

...

would

...

substitute,

...

for

...

the

...

missing

...

value,

...

the

...

arithmetic

...

average

...

of

...

the

...

quality-assured

...

values

...

of

...

the

...

HHV

...

immediately

...

preceding

...

and

...

immediately

...

following

...

the

...

missing

...

data

...

incident.

...

If

...

the

...

HHV

...

was

...

1,000

...

Btu/scf

...

for

...

the

...

second

...

semiannual

...

period

...

during

...

the

...

prior

...

year

...

and

...

the

...

HHV

...

for

...

the

...

second

...

semiannual

...

period

...

during

...

the

...

current

...

year

...

Is

...

980

...

Btu/scf,

...

the

...

substitute

...

HHV

...

used

...

for

...

the

...

first

...

semiannual

...

period

...

of

...

the

...

current

...

year

...

would

...

be

...

the

...

arithmetic

...

average

...

of

...

1,000

...

Btu/scf

...

and

...

980

...

Btu/scf,

...

or

...

990

...

Btu/scf.

...

You

...

would

...

then

...

calculate

...

the

...

annual

...

average

...

HHV

...

using

...

Equation

...

C-2b

...

as

...

follows:

...

(HHV)annual

...

=

...

[((990

...

Btu/scf)

...

x

...

(1,000

...

scf)

...

+

...

(980

...

Btu/scf)

...

x

...

(2,500

...

scf))/3,500

...

scf

...

]

...

=

...

983

...

Btu/scf
