Operation Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time
OF = T/T_t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Operation Factor - Operation Factor the ratio of the duration during which the plant is in actual service, to the total duration of the period of time considered.
Working Time - (Measured in Second) - Working Time refers to the total duration for which a power plant is in working state.
Total Time - (Measured in Second) - Total Time refers to the total duration for which a plant is operating.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Working Time: 6 Hour --> 21600 Second (Check conversion here)
Total Time: 10 Hour --> 36000 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

OF = T/T_t --> 21600/36000

Evaluating ... ...

OF = 0.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.6 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.6 <-- Operation Factor

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Demand Factor

LaTeX Go Demand Factor = Maximum Demand/Connected Load

Load Factor given Average Load and Maximum Demand

LaTeX Go Load Factor = Average Load/Maximum Demand

Average Load for Load Curve

LaTeX Go Average Load = Load Curve Area/24

Operation Factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time
OF = T/T_t

What is responsibility factor?

Responsibility factor is often used in guiding demand side management. Utilities often get charged for its contribution to the peak of independent system operator. To avoid a high charge, a utility has to reduce the responsibility factor. This can be done by implementing various programs that help shift the peak. Similarly, responsibility factor is also used in rate making. A customer with high peak demand may not get high demand charge if the peak occurs during off-peak period of the utility system load.

How to Calculate Operation Factor?

Operation Factor calculator uses Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time to calculate the Operation Factor, The Operation Factor formula is defined as the ratio of the duration during which the plant is in actual service, to the total duration of the period of time considered. Operation Factor is denoted by OF symbol.

How to calculate Operation Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Operation Factor, enter Working Time (T) & Total Time (T_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Operation Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.6 = 21600/36000.

FAQ

What is Operation Factor?

The Operation Factor formula is defined as the ratio of the duration during which the plant is in actual service, to the total duration of the period of time considered and is represented as OF = T/T_t or Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time. Working Time refers to the total duration for which a power plant is in working state & Total Time refers to the total duration for which a plant is operating.

How to calculate Operation Factor?

The Operation Factor formula is defined as the ratio of the duration during which the plant is in actual service, to the total duration of the period of time considered is calculated using Operation Factor = Working Time/Total Time. To calculate Operation Factor, you need Working Time (T) & Total Time (T_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Working Time & Total Time and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
