Q1. 1. Can you explain the concept of "load factor" and its significance in the operation of a thermal power plant? How is it calculated, and how does it affect the plant's efficiency and overall performance?
Ans. 
Load factor is the ratio of the actual output of a power plant to its maximum possible output over a period of time.
• Load factor is calculated by dividing the average power output by the maximum power output over a specific period.

• A high load factor indicates efficient utilization of the plant's capacity, while a low load factor suggests underutilization.

• It is important for assessing the economic performance of a power ...read more
