ACES EE - POWER PLANT

laod factor is

• maximum demand/connected load

• average load/installed capacity

• average load/maximum demand

• maximum demand/average load

For economy in power generation

• load factor should be high

• diversity factor should be high

• plant use factor should be high

• load factor and diversity factor should be low

a load curve is plot of

• load versus time

• load versus cost of power

• load versus current

• load versus generation capacity

During summer months, the increased load is due to

• increased water supply

• vacation in institutions

• increased business activities

• increased use of fans and air conditioners

Load due to a ceiling fan is nearly watts.

• 40 to 80

• 100 to 200

• 20

• 250 to 2000

which of the following utility item has the highest power rating?

• mixer

• electric fan

• refrigerator

a power plant supplying energy to a city will usually experience peak demand

• midnight to early morning

• 8am to 12noon

• 2pm to 6pm

• 6pm to 12pm

Capital cost per MWh is highest in case of

• steam power plant

• diesel engine power plant

• nuclear power plant

• hydroelectric power plant

a diesel power plant is best suited as

• standby plant

• base load plant

• peak load plant

• general purpose plant

a gas turbine power plant usually suits for

• casual run

• base load operation

• peak load operation

• none of these
