Consumers Load Curves

Question (1)
Two consumers groups are connected to a PP of 160 MW rated capacity. The daily load for
each customer is given in the following table:

hours Group # 1 (MW) Group # 2 (MW)


0-5 20 15
6-10 25 20
10-12 40 35
12-18 60 50
18-23 70 60
23-24 40 30

It is required to find out:


a) System Reserve.
b) Consumed Energy.
c) Demand Factor (DF).
d) Average Load (Lav).
e) Load Factor (LF).
f) Capacity Factor (CF).
g) Utilization Factor (UF).
h) Peak Diversity Factor (PDF).

Solution:
The daily hourly loads for combined customers:

hours Load of Group # 1+2 Energy (MWh)


(MW)
0-5 35 5 × 35 = 175
6-10 45 4 × 45 = 180
10-12 75 2 × 75 = 150
12-18 110 6 × 110 = 660
18-23 130 5 × 130 = 650
23-24 70 1 × 70 = 70

a) System Reserve = rated capacity – max load


𝑅 = 𝐶 − 𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 160 − 130 = 30 𝑀𝑊
b) Consumed Energy
𝐸𝑇 = 175 + 180 + 150 + 660 + 650 + 70 = 1885 𝑀𝑊ℎ/𝑑
c) Demand Factor

𝐿𝐹 = = = 0.6041
𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥 130
f) Capacity Factor
𝐿𝑎𝑣 78.5416
𝐶𝐹 = = = 0.4908
𝐶 160

g) Utilization Factor

𝑈𝐹 = = = 0.8125
𝐶 160
h) Peak Diversity Factor
𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥1 + 𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥2 70 + 60
𝐺𝐷𝐹 = = =1
𝐿max (𝐺𝑅𝑂𝑈𝑃#1+2) 130

Question (2)
Two consumers are connected to a PP of 150 MW rated capacity. The daily load for each
customer is given in the following table:

Daily Hours consumer #1 (MW) consumer #2 (MW)


0-5 20 10
5-8 25 20
8-12 40 35
12-18 50 45
18-22 70 60
22-24 50 20

It is required to:
a) Draw the load curve for each consumer and determine the energy consumed by each
one (the area under each curve).
b) Draw the combined load curve for the two consumers and determine the total energy
consumed by the two consumers (the area under this combined curve), and then show
that it is equal to the summation of the two consumers energies in (a).
c) Calculate the UF of the system.
d) Determine the PDF of the system.
