Hence demand factor = 0.89. (Ans.)
Example 9.8, The yearly duration curve of a certain plant can be considered as a straight line
from 300 MW to 80 MW. Power is supplied with one generating unit of 200 MW capacity and two
units of 100 MW capacity each. Determine :
@ Installed capacity. (ti) Load factor.
(iii) Plant factor. (iv) Maximum demand.
(0) Utilization factor.
Solution. The load duration curve is shown in the Fig. 9.17.

Solution. Maximum demand of the power station = 30 MW
Load factor =0.6
Plant capacity = 0.48
Plant use factor = 0.82
@ The daily energy produced :
__Average demand
Load factor =
Maximum demand
06= Average demand
‘Average demand = 30 x 0.6 = 18 MW or 18000 kW
Daily energy product = Average demand x number of hours
= 18000 x 24 = 4.32 x 10° kWh. (Ans.)
