Demand factor: It is defined as the ratio of maximum demand on power station, to its connected load

It is less than unity. For determining the capacity of plant equipment, demand factor plays an important role

Demand Factor:- The demand factor of any system, or part of a system, is the ratio of maximum demand of the system, a part of the system, to the total connected load of the system, or of the part of the system, under consideration,. Expressing the definition mathematically,

            Demand factor = maximum demand / connected load
