Which plant can never have 100 percent load factor?
Correct answer: A. Peak load plant
- A. Peak load plant
- B. Base load plant
- C. Nuclear power plant
- D. Hydro electric plant
Explanation
A peak-load plant operates only when demand is high, so its average load remains below its maximum demand and its load factor cannot reach 100 percent. Base-load plants are designed for nearly continuous operation.
