  1. A generating station has a maximum demand of 50 MW, a load factor of 60%, a plant capacity factor of 45% and if the plant while running as per schedule, were fully loaded. The daily energy produced will be ________ MW
    1. 7.20 M W.
    2. 72.0 M W.
    3. 0.720 M W.
    4. 720 M W.
Correct Option: D

Load factor =
Average demand
Maximum demand

or 0.60 =
Average demand
50

∴ Average demand = 30 MW
Daily energy produced = Average demand × 24
= 30 × 24 = 720 M W.
