Electrical Engineering MCQ on Power Generation and Power Plant Engineering.
The value of plant capacity factor is
- Always 1
- 0
- Less than 1
- Greater than 1
Correct answer: 3. Less than 1
Explanation:
Plant capacity factor is defined as the ratio of average power to the plant capacity.
Pcf = Average power/Plant capacity
The average power output of a plant is less than the plant capacity. So, therefore, the value of plant capacity is less than 1.
