Plant Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Plant Factor = Energy Actually Produced/Max Energy Produced
p = E/w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Plant Factor - Plant factor is the ratio of the average power load of a plant to its rated capacity.
Energy Actually Produced - (Measured in Joule) - Energy Actually Produced is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.
Max Energy Produced - (Measured in Joule) - Max Energy Produced is the process of generating maximum electric power from sources of primary energy.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Energy Actually Produced: 250 Kilowatt-Hour --> 900000000 Joule (Check conversion here)
Max Energy Produced: 500 Kilowatt-Hour --> 1800000000 Joule (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = E/w --> 900000000/1800000000

Evaluating ... ...

p = 0.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.5 <-- Plant Factor

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

Plant Factor Formula

Plant Factor = Energy Actually Produced/Max Energy Produced
p = E/w

What is meant by maximum energy produced?

Maximum energy production is the process of generating maximum electric power from sources of primary energy.

How to Calculate Plant Factor?

Plant Factor calculator uses Plant Factor = Energy Actually Produced/Max Energy Produced to calculate the Plant Factor, The Plant Factor is the ratio of the average power load of a plant to its rated capacity. generally it is the ratio of the total actual energy produced or supply over a definite period of time. Plant Factor is denoted by p symbol.

How to calculate Plant Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Plant Factor, enter Energy Actually Produced (E) & Max Energy Produced (w) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Plant Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.5 = 900000000/1800000000.

FAQ

What is Plant Factor?

The Plant Factor is the ratio of the average power load of a plant to its rated capacity. generally it is the ratio of the total actual energy produced or supply over a definite period of time and is represented as p = E/w or Plant Factor = Energy Actually Produced/Max Energy Produced. Energy Actually Produced is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy & Max Energy Produced is the process of generating maximum electric power from sources of primary energy.

How to calculate Plant Factor?
