Example 3: A power plant supplies the following loads to various consumers:
Industrial consumers = 1500 kW
Commercial established = 750 kW
Domestic power = 100 kW
Domestic Light = 450 kW
If the maximum demand on the station is 2500 kW and the no.of kWh generated/ year is 45×105. Determine the diversity factor and annual load
factor.
Example 1. A power station has a maximum demand of 150 MW with an annual load factor of 30%. Calculate the electrical energy generated per
annum.
Example 2 : A power station has a maximum demand of 20,000kW, an annual load factor is 50%, and plant capacity factor, is 40% determine the
reserve capacity of the plant.
A central power station has annual factors as follows. Load factor = 60%, capacity factor = 40% and use factor = 45%.power station has a
maximum demand of 15000 KW. Determine the annual energy production, reserve capacity over and above peak load hours per year not in
service.
A generating stations as a maximum demand (MD) of 15 MW and the daily load curve on the station is as follows, 10pm to 05 am 2500 KW 01pm
to 04pm 10000KW 05am to 07 am 3000KW 04pm to 06pm 12000KW ,07pm to 11am 9000KW 06 pm to 08pm 15000KW 11am to 01pm 6000KW
08pm to 10pm 5000KW Determine the size and the number of generator units, plant load factor, plant capacity factor, use factor and reserve
capacity of plant.
