Average Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Load = Maximum Demand*Load Factor
Avg Load = Max Demand*Load Factor
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Average Load - (Measured in Watt) - Average Load is the average load occurring on the power station in a given period known as an average load.
Maximum Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.
Load Factor - Load Factor is the ratio of average load to the maximum demand during a given period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Load Factor: 0.65 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Avg Load = Max Demand*Load Factor --> 1700000*0.65

Evaluating ... ...

Avg Load = 1105000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1105000 Watt -->1105 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1105 Kilowatt <-- Average Load

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Wind Power

Go Wind Power = 0.5*Plant Efficiency*Air Density*Blade Area*Wind Speed^3

Utilisation Factor of Plant

Go Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity

Unit Generated per Annum

Go Units Generated = Maximum Demand*Load Factor*8760

Diversity Factor

Go Diversity Factor = Combined Demand/Maximum Demand

Plant Use Factor

Go Plant Use Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity

Reserve Capacity

Go Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Maximum Demand

Plant Capacity Factor

Go Capacity Factor = Average Demand/Plant Capacity

Maximum Demand using Demand Factor

Go Maximum Demand = Demand Factor*Connected Load

Demand Factor

Go Demand Factor = Maximum Demand/Connected Load

Operation Factor

Go Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time

Load Factor given Average Load and Maximum Demand

Go Load Factor = Average Load/Maximum Demand

Maximum Demand given Load Factor

Go Maximum Demand = Average Load/Load Factor

Average Load

Go Average Load = Maximum Demand*Load Factor

Coincidence Factor

Go Coincidence Factor = 1/Diversity Factor

Average Load for Load Curve

Go Average Load = Load Curve Area/24

Average Load Formula

Average Load = Maximum Demand*Load Factor
Avg Load = Max Demand*Load Factor
