Reserve Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Maximum Demand
Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Max Demand
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Reserve Capacity - (Measured in Watt) - Reserve Capacity is the difference of the plant capacity to the maximum demand. It is calculated in megawatt.
Plant Capacity - (Measured in Watt) - Plant Capacity is the total capacity of the energy which is produced in the plant or can provide energy to system.
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

Plant Capacity: 2875 Kilowatt --> 2875000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Max Demand --> 2875000-1700000

Evaluating ... ...

Reserve Capacity = 1175000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1175000 Watt -->1175 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1175 Kilowatt <-- Reserve Capacity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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

Reserve Capacity Formula

Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Maximum Demand
Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Max Demand

What is Reserve Capacity?

Reserve capacity is a backup energy generation capacity that is used by the electric grid in the occurrence of unexpected faults such as the unavailability of a power plant. Energy storage systems have the ability to provide this service and are used to offset or reduce costs incurred for the generation of reserve capacity.

How to Calculate Reserve Capacity?

Reserve Capacity calculator uses Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Maximum Demand to calculate the Reserve Capacity, The Reserve Capacity formula is defined as the difference between the plant capacity to the maximum demand. It is calculated in megawatt. Reserve Capacity is denoted by Reserve Capacity symbol.

How to calculate Reserve Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Reserve Capacity, enter Plant Capacity (Plant Capacity) & Maximum Demand (Max Demand) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Reserve Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.175 = 2875000-1700000.
