Structure of <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> and ew Other Aspects 17<br />

1.3 A generating station has peak demand of 120 MW and its connected load is 200 MW. The energy<br />

produced annually is 4 × 10 5 MWhr. Determine (a) load factor (b) demand factor<br />

Ans. (a) 0.38 (b) 0.60.<br />

1.4 A power plant has to meet the following load demand:<br />

Load A: 100 MW from 8 AM – 6 PM<br />

Load B: 150 MW from 6 AM – 10 AM<br />

Load C: 50 MW from 6 AM – 10 AM<br />

Load D: 20 MW from 10 AM – 6 AM<br />

Plot the daily load curve and determine (a) diversity factor (b) load factor (c) daily energy produced.<br />

Ans: (a) 1.067 (b) 0.439 (c) 3160 MWhr.<br />

1.5 rom a load duration curve, following data are available:<br />

Maximum demand on the system is 40 MW. The load supplied by the two generating units is 28<br />

MW and 20 MW. Unit no. 1 is the base unit and works for all the time. Unit no. 2 is peak load unit<br />

and works only for 40% of the time. The energy produced annually by unit 1 is 2 × 10 8 units and<br />

that by unit 2 is 15 × 166 units. ind the (a) load factor (b) plant capacity factor (c) plant use factor<br />

of both the units. Also (d) determine the load factor of the total plant.<br />

Ans: (a) 0.815, 0.356 (b) 0.815, 0.856 (c) 0.815, 0.214 (d) 0.613
