What power plant has high load factor?
Diesel Engine has high load factor
Why nuclear power plants are used as base load plants?
Nuclear power plants are capital intensive power plants and hence it is more economic to operate them at high capacity factors (or as base load plants)
How do you calculate the plant load factor of hydro electric power plant?
PLF of Hydal Plant - 100% or 101%
What is meant by 'wattless power'?
Since reactive power transfers no net energy to the load, it is sometimes called "wattless" power.
Can a geothermal power plant be used as a base load system?
Yes, It can be used for base load plant. Baseload plants typically run at all times through the year except in the case of repairs or scheduled maintenance. An expert panel concluded that geothermal sources could produce approximately 100 gigawatts (GW) of baseload power to the USA by mid-century, which is approximately 10% of current US generating capacity (MIT 2006).
What is the importance of load factor in power system planning?
load factor is the ratio of average load to max demand for a given period.High load factor meansless cost per KWHmore efficient use of power plant
What is house load of power plant run parallel with grid?
utiliteis and power forms and energy the end
What is Base load power?
Base load power in a home is the energy consumed for day-to-day operation of the home, that is not used in response to the outside weather. Base Load is usually thought of Lights, Appliances, and Hot Water, but by extension it is all plug loads, pool pumps, well pumps, computers, etc. Base load is pretty much everything but the energy used for Heating and Cooling.
How is plant load factor in solar power plants?
Plant load is a factor in every energy plant. In the case of solar power plants, the plant load factor is at an average of 75%. This means 25% of the time, optimum operation is not utilized. This number has to be compared with start up costs, operating costs and income generated to determine the feasibility of conversion to solar energy.

What is meant by apparent?
You may be mixing up 'impedance' with 'apparent power'.Impedance is the vector sum of an a.c. load's resistance and reactance, and is expressed in ohms. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power, and is expressed in volt amperes.Apparent power is also the product of the square of the load current and the impedance of the load.
