    Lecturer: Mr. Dorwin Nero


    1. A generation station has peak demand of 120MW and its connected load is 200MW. The energy
    produced annually is 4 ×105 Whr. Determine: a) Load factor b) Demand factor

    2. A distribution transformer has six (6) residential customer connected. The connected load per
    consumer is 9.0 kW. The demand factor and diversity factor of the group of 6 residential
    consumers are 0.65 and 1.1 respectively. Calculate the (coincident) maximum demand on the
    transformer.

    3. The Maximum demand of a generating station is 125 ×103 kw . The load factor is 60%. The plant
    capacity factor and the plant factor are 50% and 85% respectively.

    Determine: a) the daily energy produced.


    b) The installed capacity of the plant.
    c) The reserve capacity of the plant.
    d) The maximum energy that could be produced daily if the plant is running all the time.
    e) The maximum energy that could be produced daily at full load (according to operating
    schedule).
    f) The Utilization factors.
    4. A residential consumer has a connected load of 7 lamps each of 80W and 4 fans of 75W at his
    premises. His demand is as follows:
    From midnight to 7 am – 120W
    From 7 am to 5 pm – no load
    From 5 pm to 7 pm – 380W
    From 7 pm to 9 pm – 680W
    From 9 pm to midnight – 420W
    a) Using a suitable scale plot the load curve of the information above.
    b) Determine the energy consumption in 24hrs
    c) Calculate: I. Maximum load ii. Demand factor iii. Average load iv. Load factor
    1. Data: peak demand ¿ 120 Mw
    Load ¿ 200 Mw
    Annual energy produced¿ 4 ×105 whr

    total annual energy


    a). Annual load factor =
    Annual peak load × 8760

    4 ×105 whr
    Annual load factor = =0.38∨38 %
    120 Mw × 8760

    maximum demand
    b). Diversity factor
    total connected load

    120 Mw
    diversity factor = =0.6
    200 Mw

    2. Data: load per consumer¿ 9.0 kw


    Demand factor ¿ 0.65
    Diversity factor ¿ 1.1

    maximum demand of each


    demand factor of each consumer ( DF )=
    total connected load

    9.0 × 0.65=5.85 kw , ∴ maximumdemand of each=5.86 kw

    coincideent maximum demand=


    ∑ of individual maximum demand
    diveristy factor

    5.86 ×6
    ∴ coincideent maximum demand= =31.9 kw
    1.1

    3. Data: maximum demand is 125 ×103 kw


    Load factor is 60%
    Plant capacity factor is 50%
    Plant factor is 85%
    a) The daily energy = average demand × 24
    Average demand =load factor ×maximum demand
    Average demand=0.6 ×125000 kw=75000 kw
    The daily energy=75000 ×24=1800,000 kwh∨1800 Mwh
    average demand
    b) The installed capacity of plant=
    plant capacity factor

    75 Mw
    The installed capacity of plant= =150 Mw
    0.50
    c) The reserve capacity of the plant¿ Plant capacity −maximum demand
    ¿ 150 Mw−120 Mw=30 Mw
    d) Maximum energy that could be produce daily if plant running all the time
    ¿ installed capacity × 24
    ∴=150 Mw × 24=3600 Mw
    e) The maximum energy that could be produced daily at full load according to operating schedule

    actual energy produced daily 1800 Mwh


    ¿ = =2117.65 Mwh
    plant use factor 0.85
    maximum load 125 Mw
    f) The utilization factor = =0.83
    rated capacity 150 Mw

    B) The energy consumption


    7 ×120+2 ×380+ 2× 680+3 ×420=4220 Wh
    The energy consumption is 4220Wh
    (C) i- Maximum load
    Based on the information provide the maximum load for this customer was 680W.
    ii- Demand factor (DF)
    Maximum demand
    DF =
    Total consumed load
    680
    DF =
    7 × 80+4 × 75
    DF =0.791
    The demand factor is 0.791

    iii- Average load (AL)

    AL=175.8W
    The average load was found to be 175.8W

    iv- Load factor (LF)
