Plant load factor is defined as the ratio of average power generation to the maximum power generation. Plant load factor = Average power/ Maximum power Diversity factor is defined as the ratio of sum of individual maximum demand to the station maximum demand. Diversity factor = Sum of individual maximum demand/ Station maximum demand. Therefore, both load factor and diversity factors are inversely proportional to maximum demand. If load factor and diversity factors are high, maximum demand will be less, it will reduce the machine rating and lower cost of power generation is possible.

Question:

In power station, the cost of generation of power reduces most effectively when ______.

Options:
A)

diversity factor alone increases

B)

both diversity factor and load factor increase

C)

load factor alone increases

D)

both diversity factor and load factor decrease

Solution:

Ans: (d)
