The formula to calculate Load Factor given Average Load and Maximum Demand is:
\[ \text{Load Factor} = \frac{\text{Avg Load}}{\text{Max Demand}} \]
Load Factor is the ratio of average load to the maximum demand during a given period. Average Load is the average load occurring on the power station in a given period known as an average load. Maximum Demand is defined as the peak power consumption of the load connected.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Load Factor} = \frac{1,105,000}{1,700,000} \approx 0.65 \]
The Load Factor is approximately 0.65.
