Question

Peak load on power plant is 60 MW. The load having maximum demand

30MW.20MW.10MW and 14MW connected to power plant. The capacity of power plant

is 80 MW and load factor 0.5. Estimate

i. Energy supplied per year

ii. Demand factor

iii. Diversity factor​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Load factor = 0.5

Peak load = 60 MW

a) Load factor = Average load/Peak load

  Average load = Load factor x Peak load

  Average load = 0.5 x 60 = 30 MW

b) Energy supplied per year = average load x 8760 h

                                              = 262.8 x 10^6 kWh

c)  Demand factor  = Sum of individual maximum demands/ simultaneous maximum demand

                            = 30 + 20 + 10 + 14/60 = 74 /60  = 1.233

d) Diversity factor = Sum of total demands ÷ Maximum demand on feeder

                             = 30 + 20 + 10 + 14/60 = 74 /60  = 1.233

Answer 2

In the context of electricity,the diversity factor (or simultaneity factor. ) is the ratio of the sum of the individual non-coincident maximum loads of various subdivisions of the system to the maximum demand of the complete system. The diversity factor is always greater than 1.
