Utilisation Factor of Plant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity
UF = Max Demand/Plant Capacity
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Utilisation Factor - Utilisation Factor is the ratio of the actual output from a solar plant over the year to the maximum possible output from it for a year under ideal conditions.
Maximum Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.
Plant Capacity - (Measured in Watt) - Plant Capacity is the total capacity of the energy which is produced in the plant or can provide energy to system.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Plant Capacity: 2875 Kilowatt --> 2875000 Watt (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
UF = Max Demand/Plant Capacity --> 1700000/2875000
Evaluating ... ...
UF = 0.591304347826087
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.591304347826087 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.591304347826087 0.591304 <-- Utilisation Factor
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Wind Power
Go Wind Power = 0.5*Plant Efficiency*Air Density*Blade Area*Wind Speed^3
Utilisation Factor of Plant
Go Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity
Unit Generated per Annum
Go Units Generated = Maximum Demand*Load Factor*8760
Diversity Factor
Go Diversity Factor = Combined Demand/Maximum Demand
Plant Use Factor
Go Plant Use Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity
Reserve Capacity
Go Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity-Maximum Demand
Plant Capacity Factor
Go Capacity Factor = Average Demand/Plant Capacity
Maximum Demand using Demand Factor
Go Maximum Demand = Demand Factor*Connected Load
Demand Factor
Go Demand Factor = Maximum Demand/Connected Load
Operation Factor
Go Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time
Load Factor given Average Load and Maximum Demand
Go Load Factor = Average Load/Maximum Demand
Maximum Demand given Load Factor
Go Maximum Demand = Average Load/Load Factor
Average Load
Go Average Load = Maximum Demand*Load Factor
Coincidence Factor
Go Coincidence Factor = 1/Diversity Factor
Average Load for Load Curve
Go Average Load = Load Curve Area/24

Utilisation Factor of Plant Formula

Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity
UF = Max Demand/Plant Capacity

What is responsibility factor?

Responsibility factor is often used in guiding demand side management. Utilities often get charged for its contribution to the peak of independent system operator. To avoid a high charge, a utility has to reduce the responsibility factor. This can be done by implementing various programs that help shift the peak. Similarly, responsibility factor is also used in rate making. A customer with high peak demand may not get high demand charge if the peak occurs during off-peak period of the utility system load.

How to Calculate Utilisation Factor of Plant?

Utilisation Factor of Plant calculator uses Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity to calculate the Utilisation Factor, The Utilisation Factor of Plant formula is defined as the ratio of the actual output from a solar plant over the year to the maximum possible output from it for a year under ideal conditions. Utilisation Factor is denoted by UF symbol.
