Fundamentals of Power Plant

The capacity for generating heat, and emitting light.

• Power

• Energy

• Kinetic

• Thermal

It is the kinetic and potential energy, but it is associated with the random motion of atoms in an object.

• Radiant Energy

• Nuclear Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Thermal Energy

It is called the energy in motion.

• Radiant Energy

• Nuclear Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Thermal Energy

True or False: The load factor of the plant is normally equal to one.

• TRUE

• FALSE

It is the rate of doing work.

• Power

• Energy

• Kinetic

• Thermal

True or False: The higher the load factor, the higher the overall cost of energy.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The ratio of the maximum demand and the connected load.

• Plant Use Factor

• Diversity Factor

• Demand Factor

• Load Factor

This is a modification of Plant Capacity factor in that only the actual number of hours that the plant was in operation is used.

• Plant Use Factor

• Diversity Factor

• Demand Factor

• Load Factor

The ratio of the sum of the individual maximum demands to the maximum demand of the total group.

• Plant Use Factor

• Diversity Factor

• Demand Factor

• Load Factor

It is defined as the ratio of the average load to the peak load during a certain prescribed period of time.

• Plant Use Factor

• Diversity Factor

• Demand Factor

• Load Factor
