Question
Download Solution PDFA particular consumer has loads of 200 kW, 400 kW and 300 kW, which are operating continuously. If the maximum demand of the consumer is 600 kW, find the demand factor of the system.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFDemand factor: It is the ratio of maximum demand on the power station to its connected load.
Demand factor = Maximum Demand / Connected load
The value of the demand factor is usually less than 1. It is because maximum demand is always less than the connected load. The knowledge of the demand factor is vital in determining the capacity of the plant equipment.
Calculation
Given, Maximum Demand = 600 kW
Connected load = 200+400+300 = 900 kW
Demand factor \(={600\over 900}=0.66\) = 66.67%
