    The utilization factor is defined as the maximum demand of an electric power system or part of a system divided by its rated capacity. It represents the ratio of the average or mean power delivered over a specific period of time to the maximum power rating of the system. A utilization factor of 1 means the system is operating at its full rated capacity during all hours, while a lower utilization factor indicates the system is operating below its maximum rated level on average. The document also notes utilization factor is related to the coefficient of utilization and load duration curve concepts.
