capacity factor

listen to the pronunciation of capacity factor
English - Turkish
(Teknik,Ticaret) kapasite faktörü
English - English
The ratio of electrical energy produced by a generating unit for a given period of time to the electrical energy that could have been produced at continuous full-power operation during the same period
the ratio of the capacity of an operation to the practical capacity
An electric utility's annual capacity factor is defined as the annual kilowatt-hour sales divided by the product of the total hours in a year and the rated capacity of the utility in kilowatts
The ratio of actual electricity produced by a generating unit to the energy that could have been produced at continuous full-power operation during the same period
The ratio of the total energy generated by a generating unit for a specified period to the maximum possible energy it could have generated if operated at the maximum capacity rating for the same specified period, expressed as a percent
The amount of energy that a power system produces at a particular site as a percentage of the total amount that it would produce if it operated at rated capacity during the entire year For example, the capacity factor for a wind farm ranges from 20% to 35%
The ratio of the electrical energy produced by a generating unit for the period of time considered to the electrical energy that could have been produced at continuous full-power operation during the same period
The ratio of the net energy generated, for the period of time considered, to the energy that could have been generated at continuous full-power operation during the same period
The ratio of the average power load of an electric power plant to its rated capacity
During a given period, the amount of electricity actually produced by a power station expressed as a function of the amount that it would produce if it operated continuously at full power in the same3 period For a nuclear station operating on base load, this is very close to the availability
- A measure of efficiency where: (Average Load / Rated Capacity) x 100
(1) The ratio of the average load on a generating resource to its capacity rating during a specified period of time (2) The amount of energy that the system produces at a particular site as a percentage of the total amount that it would produce if it operated at rated capacity during the entire year
1 The ratio of average load to maximum capacity 2 The ratio of average load to the total capacity of the apparatus, which is the optimum load 3 The ratio of the average actual use to the available capacity
A measure of the degree to which the capacity of a generating unit or utility is being used during a certain time period For an electric power generating unit, it's the ration of the energy produced during a given time period (measure in kilowatt-hours) to the energy the unit could have produced if it had operated at its rated capacity during that period
The amount of energy that the system produces at a particular site as a percentage of the total amount that it would produce if it operated at rated capacity during the entire year For example, the capacity factor for a wind farm ranges from 20% to 35% Thirty-five percent is close to the technology potential
The ratio of the average amount of gas transported on a pipeline to the rated capacity of the system For example, if a pipeline transports 80 MMcf/d and has a rated capacity of 100 MMcf/d, then the capacity factor is 80 percent
The amount of energy a facility generates in one year divided by the total amount it could generate if it ran at full capacity A capacity factor of one implies that the system ran at full capacity the entire year; a typical wind farm will operate at 0 25 capacity factor, or 25%
The ratio of the gross electricity generated, for the period of time considered, to the energy that could have been generated at continuous full-power operation during the same period
