Utilization Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Utilization Factor = Max Power Developed/Total Power that can be Developed
UF = P_max/m
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Utilization Factor - Utilization Factor is Proportion of light reaching working plane to the light output of lamps.
Max Power Developed - (Measured in Watt) - Max Power Developed is the generation of maximum energy.
Total Power that can be Developed - (Measured in Watt) - Total Power that can be Developed is the generation of maximum total energy.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Max Power Developed: 5000 Kilowatt --> 5000000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Total Power that can be Developed: 500.1 Kilowatt --> 500100 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

UF = P_max/m --> 5000000/500100

Evaluating ... ...

UF = 9.99800039992002

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.99800039992002 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.99800039992002 ≈ 9.998 <-- Utilization 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

Utilization Factor Formula

Utilization Factor = Max Power Developed/Total Power that can be Developed
UF = P_max/m

What is meant by the Maximum Power developed?

Maximum Power developed represents the generation of maximum energy that can be utilized by the generator.

How to Calculate Utilization Factor?

Utilization Factor calculator uses Utilization Factor = Max Power Developed/Total Power that can be Developed to calculate the Utilization Factor, The Utilization Factor is defined as the ratio of the time that a piece of equipment is in use to the total time that it could be in use. Utilization Factor is denoted by UF symbol.

How to calculate Utilization Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Utilization Factor, enter Max Power Developed (P_max) & Total Power that can be Developed (m) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Utilization Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = 5000000/500100.

FAQ

What is Utilization Factor?
