UTILITY ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION TERMS:
1 I Load I on a machine or atmaratus is the Dower which it delivers.

2 Power is the time rate of transferring or transfonning energy.
3 Energy of a system is measured by the amount of mechanical work which the system
is capable of doing.
4 Demand of an installation or system is the load at the receiving tenninals averaged
5 Maximum is the greatest of all demands which have occurred during a given period of
demand time.
6 Base load is the minimum load over a given period of time.
7 Connected load of a system is the sum of the continuous ratings of the load-consuming
apparatus connected to the system.
8 Load diversity is the difference between the sum of the peaks of two or more individual

9 Load of a system is the reciprocal of its load diversity.
coincidence
is the maximum load consumed or produced by a unit or group of units in a
Peak load stated period of time. It may be the maximum instantaneous load or the
maximum average load over a designated interval of time.
Load factor is the ratio of the average load over a designated period of time to the peak
load occurring in that period.
Plant factor is the ratio of the average load on the plant for the period of time considered.
to the aggregate rating of all the equipment installed in the plant.
Capacity factor is the ratio of the average load on the machine or equipment for the period of
time considered, to the rating of the machine or equipment
is the ratio of the actual energy output, in the period of time considered, to
Output factor the energy output which would have occurred if the machine or equipment
had been operating at its full rating throughout its actual hours of service
during the period.
