Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLoad Factor
Load factor is defined as the ratio of the average load over a given period to the maximum demand (peak load) occurring in that period.
\(Load \space factor={Average \space demand \over Maximum \space demand}\)
The average demand is given by:
\(Average \space demand={Area \space under \space curve \over Total \space time(in\space hrs)}\)
The area under the curve gives the number of units generated/per annum.
Calculation
Given, Maximum demand = 100 kW
Load Factor = 100% = 1
\(1={Average \space demand \over 100}\)
Average demand = 100 kW
For 1 year = 8760 hrs
\(100× 10^3={Area \space under \space curve \over 8760}\)
No. of units generated = 876 × 106 Wh
No. of units generated = 876 MWh
