Load factor of a power station is defined as____________?
Correct answer: C. average load/maximum demand
- A. maximum demand/average load
- B. average load x maximum demand
- C. average load/maximum demand
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Load factor compares the average load carried by a station with its maximum demand: load factor = average load ÷ maximum demand. It is always less than or equal to 1, so the inverse in option a is not correct.
