Electrical Engineering ⇒ Topic : Plant Capacity Factor

Plant Capacity Factor:- It is defined as the ratio of actual energy produced in kilowatt hours (kwh) to the maximum possible energy that could have been produced during the same period. Expressing the definition mathematically,

Plant capacity factor = E / C x t

where                       E = energy produced (kWh) in a given period

                                 C = capacity of the plant in kW

                                  t = total number of hours in the given period
