Average Load
The average demand or average load is
gy delivered in a
defined as the total energy
certain period divided by the time interval
It is possible to calculate a daily average load,
weekly average load,
load monthly average load
and yearly (annual) average load
Average Load
total energy(kWh) supplied in one day
Daily average load =
24 (h)
total energy(kWh) supplied in one week
Weekly average load =
24 * 7 (h)
total energy(kWh) supplied in one month
Monthly average load =
24 * 30 (h)
total energy(kWh) supplied in one year
Annual average
g load =
24 * 365
36 (h)
Installed capacity
The installed capacity is the sum of the
ratings of all stations available to supply the
system

Operating factors
Some factors are developed from operating
curves to give useful indications about the

Capacity factor
The capacity factor takes into account the excess of
the installed power of station more than the actual
required demand
The excess of power is known as the reserve
power, which takes into account the expected future
expansion and unexpected sudden load increase

Multiplying the average demand and the rated
capacityy byy time, the capacity
y factor can be
defined as the ratio between the actual energy
produced and that would be p

produced if the
plant were operated at its full capacity
Utilization factor
The utilization factor represents a measure of
the power utilization of power plants
It is less than unity
Reserve factor
The ratio between the rated capacity of a
power plant and the maximum demand is
known as the reserve factor plant

Typical value of the reserve factor is
between 1.2 and 1.4

unexpected load changes

Some units are kept in the hot status to be
connected to the network as fast as possible
Reserve power
p
The need for reserve power arises due to some
abnormal conditions in power system
Sudden unexpected increase in the load demand
Forced outage of generators or other equipments
due to stability problems
Underestimating the load demand due to some
errors in the load forecasting
Local shortage in the generated power (e.g. due
to the outage of a transmission line)

The boilers have to be in the hot status with proper
conditions (pressure and temperature)
The total spinning reserve has to be greater than the
largest generating unit in the power system
Reserve power
p
The choice of the operating and standby unit as well
as the distribution of reserve power on different power
plants depends on the following factors:
The start up cost: depends on the start up time the
the
time interval between the order of starting to the
moment where the unit delivers power to the network
network
Units with high start up cost have not to be frequently
switched on and off. Such units can provide hot
reserve power but not cold reserve power.

energy during the shut down of the unit.

also on the type of the unit
