Power station 21
Question = A generating station has a maximum demand ( M.D. ) of 20 MW , a load factor ( L.F. ) 60 % , a plant capacity factor ( P.C.F.) of 60% and a plant use factor ( P.U.F. ) of 80 % , find (1) the daily every produced , (2) the reserve capacity of the plant , (3) the maximum energy that could be produced daily , if the plant was running all the time , (4) the maximum energy that could be produced daily , if the plant was running fully loaded and operating as per schedule . ?
Solution = is given ,
» M D. = 20 MW or 20,000 kW , » L.F. = 60 % , P.C.F. = 60 % , P.U.F. = 80 % ,
(1) energy produced = M.D. × L.F. × hours in a one day ,
» 20,000 kW × 0.6 × 24 h , = 288 × 10³ kWh , answer ✓
(2) the reserve capacity of the plant = plant capacity - maximum demand ,
» M.D. = 20 MW , ( is given )
» Plant capacity =average demand ÷ plant capacity factor ,
» average demand = 20 × 0.6 = 12 MW ,
» P.C. = 12 ÷ 0.6 = 20 MW ,
» So , reserve capacity of the plant = 20 MW - 20 MW = 0 , answer✓
(3) maximum energy produced = M.D. × 24 H = 20 MW × 24 h = 480 MWH or , 480 × 10³ kWh , answer✓
(4) maximum energy produced full load = M.D. × 24 h = 20 MW × 24 h = 480 MWH ,
» according to schedule use factor = 0.8 ,
» maximum energy = unit MWH ÷ use factor ,
» 480 MWH ÷ 0.8 = 600 MWH , or , 600 × 10³ kWh , answer ✓
