About this document
Power Systems MCQs: Base and Peak Load by Gilbert John Onayan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Base load plants, such as thermal, hydro, and nuclear plants, provide continuous electricity supply throughout the year. Peak load plants, like pumped storage and diesel plants, only operate during peak hours with higher electricity prices. 2. Ideal plant load factor is 1, while practical load factor is less than 1. Plant capacity factor is also less than 1 since average power is less than plant capacity. Diversity factor is greater than 1 since individual maximum demands do not occur simultaneously.
