Electrical Power Plant

The useful life of diesel engine in a power plant is expected to be ______ year/s.

The average weekly energy generated by a thermal plant is \(7 \times 10^{6}\) kWhr. The peak load of the plant is 75,000 kW during the week. If the plant has an installed capacity of 100 MW, solve for the load factor of the plant.

The efficiency of thermal power plant is approximately

The purpose of a grid system is to

Which of the following plants will take least time in starting from cold conditions to full-load operation?

Heating value of coal largely depends on

The efficiency of thermal plant is approximately

A power plant is said to have had a use factor of 48.5% and a capacity factor of a 42.4%. How many hours did it operate during the year?

In a certain country the energy consumption is expected to double in 10 years. Calculate the growth rate.

During load shedding

Which plant can never have 100% load factor?

A power plant gets water from a dam from a height of 122.45 meters at the rate of 1,000 cubic meters per minute. If the output of the plant is 15,000kW, what is the plant efficiency?

Converts energy of water to mechanical energy.

A diversity factor of 2 gives a saving of ___ % in generating equipment.

Which of the following plants will take least time in starting from cold condition to full load operation?

When a power plant is not able to meet the demand of consumers it will resort to

The annual load curve is a straight line from 40 MW to 8 MW. What is the annual load factor?

Which is the most reliable power plant?
