what is diversity factor ? plzzzzzz describe me..

Answer / rk

Diversity factor: The probability that a particular piece of
equipment will come on at the time of the facility's peak
load. It is the ratio of the sum of the individual
non-coincident maximum demands of various subdivisions of
the system to the maximum demand of the complete system. The
diversity factor is always greater than 1. The (unofficial)
term diversity, as distinguished from diversity factor
refers to the percent of time available that a machine,
piece of equipment, or facility has its maximum or nominal
load or demand (a 70% diversity means that the device in
question operates at its nominal or maximum load level 70%
of the time that it is connected and turned on).

Diversity factor is commonly used for a number of
mathematics-related topics. One such instance is when
completing a coordination study for a system. This diversity
factor is used to estimate the load of a particular node in
the system.

Diversity Factor = Sum of Individual Max. Demand/

Max. Demand on Power Station
