which power plant has high load factor?

Answer Posted / d. tushar

Dear Friends,
i suppose the question was misunerstood by some persons.
The Plant Load factor is the term which means the output of
the power plant with respect to its rated output. (actual
o/p / Rated o/p). Generally PLF term calculated annual basis
(Viz. If a power plant have rated o/p 250 MW i.e. 250x24(hr)
x365(Days) (annual o/p) and its actual o/p is
250x24x340i.e. its o/p is less than its rated o/p )
most of the plant have PLF in between 65 to 100 %. the PLF
depends on power demand,maintanance outage of plant,forced
outage,actual plant generating capacity,etc.

Now the ans of the question asked by ms. asha
PLF not de[pend on type of power plant. but obviously PLF
of thermal,nuclear,gas power plant are higher than non
convential power plants. Thermal power plants can give PLF
more than 100%.If it operate at higher the rated capacity
(e.g. Dahanu Thermal Power plantsPLF is above 100%)
