The load factor for a power station is calculated as:
\(Load \space factor={Average \space demand \over Maximum \space demand}\)
\({Average \space demand}={Total \space energy \space generated \space in \space a \space year\over Total \space hours \space in \space a \space year }\)
\({Average \space demand}={Total \space energy \space generated \space in \space a \space year\over 24× 365 }\)
Calculation
Given, Load factor = 50% = 0.5
Maximum demand = 100 MW
\(0.5={Average \space demand \over 100}\)
Average demand = 50 MW
Total energy generated in a year = 50 × 24 × 365
Total energy generated in a year = 43800 × 105 kWh
