Load Factor for Turbo-generators Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load Factor = Average Load/Peak Load
LF = L_Avg/P_L
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Load Factor - Load Factor is the ratio of average load to the maximum demand during a given period.
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.
Peak Load - (Measured in Watt) - Peak Load is the maximum load on an electrical power-supply system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Load: 400 Watt --> 400 Watt No Conversion Required
Peak Load: 4 Kilowatt --> 4000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

LF = L_Avg/P_L --> 400/4000

Evaluating ... ...

LF = 0.1

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.1 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.1 <-- Load Factor

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Total Power that can be Developed given Utilization Factor

Go Total Power that can be Developed = Max Power Developed/Utilization Factor

Maximum Power Developed given Utilization Factor

Go Max Power Developed = Utilization Factor*Total Power that can be Developed

Utilization Factor

Go Utilization Factor = Max Power Developed/Total Power that can be Developed

Energy Actually Produced given Plant Factor

Go Energy Actually Produced = Plant Factor*Max Energy Produced

Maximum Energy Produced using Plant Factor

Go Max Energy Produced = Energy Actually Produced/Plant Factor

Plant Factor

Go Plant Factor = Energy Actually Produced/Max Energy Produced

Average Load given Load Factor for Turbo-generators

Go Average Load = Load Factor*Peak Load

Peak Load given Load Factor for Turbo-Generators

Go Peak Load = Average Load/Load Factor

Load Factor for Turbo-generators

Go Load Factor = Average Load/Peak Load

Load Factor for Turbo-generators Formula

Load Factor = Average Load/Peak Load
LF = L_Avg/P_L

What is meant by Peak Load?

Peak load is a period of time when electrical power is needed a sustained period based on demand. Also known as peak demand.

How to Calculate Load Factor for Turbo-generators?

Load Factor for Turbo-generators calculator uses Load Factor = Average Load/Peak Load to calculate the Load Factor, The Load Factor for Turbo-generators is defined as the ratio of the average load over a given period of time to the maximum demand (peak load) occurring in that period. Load Factor is denoted by LF symbol.

How to calculate Load Factor for Turbo-generators using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Load Factor for Turbo-generators, enter Average Load (L_Avg) & Peak Load (P_L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Load Factor for Turbo-generators calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.1 = 400/4000.
