Load Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load Factor = Average Load over Certain Period/Peak Load During that Period
L.F. = P_Avg/P_peak
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Load Factor - Load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period.
Average Load over Certain Period - (Measured in Kilowatt) - Average load over certain period.
Peak Load During that Period - (Measured in Kilowatt) - Peak load during that period is the highest amount of energy that a consumer draws from the grid in a set period of time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Load over Certain Period: 22400 Kilowatt --> 22400 Kilowatt No Conversion Required
Peak Load During that Period: 34900 Kilowatt --> 34900 Kilowatt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L.F. = P_Avg/P_peak --> 22400/34900

Evaluating ... ...

L.F. = 0.641833810888252

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.641833810888252 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.641833810888252 ≈ 0.641834 <-- Load Factor

Capacity Factor or Plant Factor

Go Capacity Factor = Energy Produced in Time t/Maximum Energy Produced in Time t

Load Factor

Go Load Factor = Average Load over Certain Period/Peak Load During that Period

Utilization Factor or Plant Use Factor

Go Utilization Factor = Maximum Power Utilized/Maximum Power Available

Load Factor Formula

Load Factor = Average Load over Certain Period/Peak Load During that Period
L.F. = P_Avg/P_peak

How does Load Factor work?

The load factor is a metric used in the airline industry that measures the percentage of available seating capacity that has been filled with passengers. A high load factor indicates that an airline has sold most of its available seats and is preferred over a low load factor.

What is the value of Load Factor?

The load factor is a dimensionless number equal to the average load divided by the peak load. For example, if the average load is 66 kWh/d (or 2.75 kW) and the peak load is 10.5 kW, the load factor is 2.75 kW/10.5 kW = 0.26.

How to Calculate Load Factor?

Load Factor calculator uses Load Factor = Average Load over Certain Period/Peak Load During that Period to calculate the Load Factor, The Load Factor formula is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. Load Factor is denoted by L.F. symbol.

How to calculate Load Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Load Factor, enter Average Load over Certain Period (P_Avg) & Peak Load During that Period (P_peak) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Load Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.641834 = 22400000/34900000.

FAQ

What is Load Factor?
