PROBLEM 4. A Generation Station of 1MW Supplied A Region Which Has The Following
Solution:
When the transmission line losses are neglected, Pg = PL , and the demand = load
Installed capacity = 1 MW = 1000 kW and max. load = max. demand = 900 kW
Average Load = Area under the load curve (kWh) / no. of hours (h)
The Reserve Capacity = Installed Capacity − Max. Demand = 1000 − 900 = 100 kW
Plant Capacity Factor = Average Demand/Installed Capacity = 179.16 kW/1000 kW = 0.1791 = 17.91%
Plant Use Factor = Actual Energy Produced in (kWh)/Plant Capacity × no. of hours
= 4300 kWh/1000 kW × 11 h
= 0.3909 = 39.09%
