In a power plant if the maximum demand on the plant is equal to the plant capacity, then
Correct answer: A. plant reserve capacity will be zero
- A. plant reserve capacity will be zero
- B. diversity factor will be unity
- C. load factor will be unity
- D. load factor will be nearly 60%
Explanation
Reserve capacity equals plant capacity minus maximum demand. If maximum demand reaches the entire plant capacity, no generating capacity remains in reserve; this condition does not by itself determine the load factor.
