Power Point Engineering
1)The peak load on a power station is 30 MW. The loads having maximum demands
of 25 MW, 10 MW, 5 MW and 7 MW are connected to the power station. The capacity of the
power station is 40 MW and annual load factor is 50%. Find
(a) Average load on the power station. (b) Energy supplied per year. (c) Demand factor. (d)
Diversity factor.
2) A power plant supplies the loads having maximum demands of 40 MW, 50 MW and30 MW
respectively. The load factor of the plant on the basis of annual load curve is 60% and the
diversity the factor of the load is 1.2. Determine (a) the maximum load on the power plant, (b)
the capacity of the power plant required to take the loads, and (c) annual energy supplied by the power
plant.
3) A power station has annual factors as follows: Load factor = 0.6 , capacity factor= and use factor=
0.45. The maximum demand from the power station = 20 MW. Determine (a) Annual energy produced
(b) Reserve capacity over and above peak load (c) Number of hour per year during which plant is not
working
4) A power plant has the following annual factors. Load factor = 70%. Capacity factor 50%, Use
factor = 60% Maximum demand is 20 MW.
Find :
(a) Annual energy production.
5) A 60 MW power annual peak load of 50 MW. The power station supplies loads having
maximum demands of 20 MW, 17 MW, 10 MW and 9 MW. The annual load factor is 0.45.Find:
(i) Average load. (iii) Diversity factor.(ii) Energy supplied per year. (iv) Demand factor
6)The Thermal Power Plant consist of two 60 MW units, each running at 8000 hours and one 30 MW
units runs at 4000 hours per year. Energy produced by the plant is 850 106 kWh per year. Find
plant load factors and plant use factor.
7)A power station has two 60 MW units each running for 7000 hours a year and
one 30 MW unit running for 1500 hours a year. The energy produced per year
is 700 × 106 kWh.
Calculate : (i) Plant load factor
(ii) Plant use factor
9)A power station has two 40 MW units each running for 7000 hours a year and
one 20 MW unit running for 1500 hours a year. The energy produced per year
is 700 * 10^6 kWh.
Calculate :
(i) Plant Load Factor
(ii) Plant Use Factor
11)A powerstation is said to have use factor of 47% and capacity factor of 40%.
For how many hours in a year was the power station not in service
Therefore, the power station was not in service for 5256 hours in a year.
