Concept of Efficiency
Output of Station
Efficiency= X
100
Input of Station
Output= Energy Sent Out
Input = Fuel Burnt in Kg X CV of Fuel
(Kcal/Kg)
1 KW = 860 Kcal = 3600
TERMS

DEFINITIONS
• Connected Load: It is the sum of
Loads of all Installed equipment in
Consumers Premises
• Maximum Demand: It is the
maximum Load used by consumer at
any time.
• Demand Factor: It is defined as the
ratio of maximum demand to
connected Load.
• Load Factor: Ratio of average load
to maximum demand.
PLANT CAPACITY FACTOR
Defined as the ratio of actual energy produced in
Kilowatt Hour to the maximum possible energy
that could have been produced during a defined
period i.e. total period of operation including shut
downs and outages.
E
PLF = ------------
C*T
E: Energy Produced in actual period
C: Capacity of the Plant in KW
T: Total numbers of Hours in Given Period
PLANT USE FACTOR
Defined as the ratio of energy produced in Kilowatt
Hour to the maximum possible energy that could
have been produced during actual period of
operation.
E
PLF = ------------
C*t
E: Energy Produced in actual period
C: Capacity of the Plant in KW
t: Total numbers of Hours in Given Period
Diversity Factor
• It is defined as the ratio of sum of
individual maximum demand to the
simultaneous maximum demand.
• It is always more than unity
• Power station should be capable of
supplying simultaneous maximum
demand
EXAMPLE 1
A Power plant has a maximum Demand of 80 MW
and daily Load curve is defined as follows:
Maximum Demand = 80 MW
