Demand Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Demand Factor = Maximum Demand/Connected Load
Demand Factor = Max Demand/Connected Load
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Demand Factor - Demand Factor is the ratio of maximum demand to connected load.
Maximum Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.
Connected Load - (Measured in Watt) - Connected Load is defined as the total load connected to the plant at any point of time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Connected Load: 3600 Kilowatt --> 3600000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Demand Factor = Max Demand/Connected Load --> 1700000/3600000

Evaluating ... ...

Demand Factor = 0.472222222222222

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.472222222222222 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.472222222222222 ≈ 0.472222 <-- Demand Factor

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

Demand Factor Formula

Demand Factor = Maximum Demand/Connected Load
Demand Factor = Max Demand/Connected Load

What is the realtion between the Demand Factor and System Capacity?

The lower the demand factor, the less system capacity required to serve the connected load. The value of the demand Factor is less than equal to 1 .
