Utilisation Factor of Plant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity
UF = Max Demand/Plant Capacity
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Utilisation Factor - Utilisation Factor is the ratio of the actual output from a solar plant over the year to the maximum possible output from it for a year under ideal conditions.
Maximum Demand - (Measured in Watt) - Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.
Plant Capacity - (Measured in Watt) - Plant Capacity is the total capacity of the energy which is produced in the plant or can provide energy to system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Demand: 1700 Kilowatt --> 1700000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Plant Capacity: 2875 Kilowatt --> 2875000 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

UF = Max Demand/Plant Capacity --> 1700000/2875000

Evaluating ... ...

UF = 0.591304347826087

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.591304347826087 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.591304347826087 ≈ 0.591304 <-- Utilisation Factor

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 Utilisation Factor of Plant?

Utilisation Factor of Plant calculator uses Utilisation Factor = Maximum Demand/Plant Capacity to calculate the Utilisation Factor, The Utilisation Factor of Plant formula is defined as the ratio of the actual output from a solar plant over the year to the maximum possible output from it for a year under ideal conditions. Utilisation Factor is denoted by UF symbol.
