8 <strong>Electrical</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Systems</strong><br />

Example 1.1: A power station supplies the load as tabulated below:<br />

Time Load<br />

(hours) (MW)<br />

6 AM – 8 AM 1.2<br />

8 AM – 9 AM 2.0<br />

9 AM – 12 Noon 3.0<br />

12 Noon – 2 PM 1.50<br />

2 PM – 6 PM 2.50<br />

6 PM – 8 PM 1.80<br />

8 PM – 9 PM 2.0<br />

9 PM – 11 PM 1.0<br />

11 PM – 5 AM 0.50<br />

5 AM – 6 AM 0.80<br />

(a) Plot the load curve and find out the load factor.<br />

(b) Determine the proper number and size of generating units to supply this load.<br />

(c) ind the reserve capacity of the plant and plant factor.<br />

(d) ind out the operating schedule of the generating units selected.<br />

Solution:<br />

(a) igure 1.4 show the plot of load curve<br />

ig. 1.4: Load curve of Ex–1.1.<br />

Units generated during 24 hours<br />

= (2 × 1.2 + 1 × 2 + 3 × 3 + 2 × 1.5 + 4 × 2.5 + 2 × 1.8 + 1 × 2<br />

+ 2 × 1 + 6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.8) MWhr.<br />

= 37.80 MWhr<br />

Average load =<br />

\ Average load =<br />

Units generated<br />

Time in hours<br />

37. 80<br />

24<br />

= 1.575 MW.
