If the diversity factor of a power station is high then its generation cost is___________?
Correct answer: B. low
- A. high
- B. low
- C. remain same
- D. depend on the plan type
Explanation
A high diversity factor means the station's maximum coincident demand is much lower than the sum of individual maximum demands. This permits smaller installed capacity and improves utilisation, reducing the generation cost.
