Diversity Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diversity Factor = Combined Demand/Maximum Demand
Diversity Factor = S/Max Demand
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Diversity Factor - Diversity Factor is defined as the ratio of the sum of the maximum demands of the various part of a system to the coincident maximum demand of the whole system.
Combined Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Combined Demand is defined as the sum of individual maximum demands of a power plant.
Maximum Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Combined Demand: 2400 Kilowatt --> 2400000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Diversity Factor = S/Max Demand --> 2400000/1700000

Evaluating ... ...

Diversity Factor = 1.41176470588235

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.41176470588235 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.41176470588235 ≈ 1.411765 <-- Diversity 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

Diversity Factor Formula

Diversity Factor = Combined Demand/Maximum Demand
Diversity Factor = S/Max Demand

What is the value for good and bad diversity factor?

If the value of the diversity factor is greater than 1, then it is a good diversity factor, and 1.0 represents a poor diversity factor. A high diversity factor has the effect of reducing the maximum demand. It is obtained by using electrical energy at night load or light load periods.
