    This document discusses important terms and factors related to power generation, including: 1) Load curves show the variation of load on a power station over time (daily, monthly, yearly) and are used to select the size and number of generating units and prepare operation schedules. 2) Load duration curves arrange the load elements of a curve in descending order of magnitude. 3) Connected load is the sum of all equipment ratings connected to the supply system, while maximum demand is the greatest load on the station in a given period. 4) Other terms discussed include average load, load factor, diversity factor, plant capacity factor, and plant use factor. The document also covers different types of loads and

    Power Generation

    Prepared By: Engr. Osama Majeed Butt


    Important Terms and Factors
    • Load Curves
    The curve showing the variation of load on the power station with respect to (w.r.t) time is known as a load curve. (Daily, Monthly or
    Yearly load curves)
    (i) The daily load curve shows the variations of load on the power station during different hours of the day.
    (ii) The area under the daily load curve gives the number of units generated in the day.
    Units generated/day = Area (in kWh) under daily load curve.
    (iii) The highest point on the daily load curve represents the maximum demand on the station on that day.
    (iv) The area under the daily load curve divided by the total number of hours gives the average load on the station in the day.
    Average load = Area (in kWh) under daily load curve/24 hours
    (v) The ratio of the area under the load curve to the total area of rectangle in which it is contained gives the load factor

    (vi) The load curve helps in selecting the size and number of generating units.
    (vii) The load curve helps in preparing the operation schedule of the station.

    • Load Duration Curves
    When the load elements of a load curve are arranged in the order of descending
    magnitudes, the curve thus obtained is called a load duration curve

    • Connected Load
    It is the sum of continuous ratings of all the equipment connected to supply
    system.
    • Maximum Demand
    It is the greatest demand of load on the power station during a given period
    • Demand Factor
    It is the ratio of maximum demand on the power station to its connected load
    • Average Load
    The average of loads occurring on the power station in a given period (day or
    month or year) is known as average load or average demand.

    • Load Factor
    The ratio of average load to the maximum demand during a given period is
    known as load factor.

    If plant is in operation for ‘T’ hours

    • Diversity Factor
    The ratio of the sum of individual maximum demands to the maximum
    demand on power station is known as diversity factor
    .

    Prepared By: Engr. Osama Majeed Butt


    • Plant capacity Factor
    It is the ratio of actual energy produced to the maximum possible
    energy that could have been produced during a given period

    If plant is in operation for ‘T’ hours

    • Plant use Factor


    It is ratio of kWh generated to the product of plant capacity and the
    number of hours for which the plant was in operation

    • Types of Load
    • Domestic Load
    • Commercial Load
    • Industrial Load
    • Municipal Load
    • Irrigation Load
    • Traction Load

    Load Calculations on Power Station
    Base load
    The unvarying load which occurs almost the whole day
    on the station is known as base load
    Peak load
    The various peak demands of load over and above the
    base load of the station is known as peak load
