A power station has a maximum demand of 15000 kW. The annual load factor is 50% and the plant capacity factor is 40%. The reserve capacity of the plant is
- A. 5630 kW
- B. 4210 kW
- C. 3750 kW
- D. 2760 kW
Answer: C. 3750 kW
Explanation: Average load = 15000 × 0.50 = 7500 kW. Plant capacity = 7500 / 0.40 = 18750 kW. Reserve capacity = 18750 - 15000 = 3750 kW.
