| 31. | A 200 MW wind farm at 35 % capacity factor will generate approximately 613.2 GWh / year.
|
| 32. | A hydroelectricity plant may have a capacity factor lower than 100 % due to scarcity of water.
|
| 33. | It produces peak power around local noon each day and its capacity factor is around 20 percent.
|
| 34. | The ratio of actual productivity in a year to this theoretical maximum is called the capacity factor.
|
| 35. | In both cases the use of the hydroelectricity plant to stabilize the grid reduces its capacity factor.
|
| 36. | Capacity factors for PV solar are rather poor varying between 10-20 % of the rated nameplate capacity.
|
| 37. | This corresponds to a capacity factor of:
|
| 38. | Wind capacity factors range from 20 40 % and solar capacity factors in Arizona are about 19 %.
|
| 39. | The capacity factor is the ratio of power actually produced divided by the nameplate capacity of the turbines.
|
| 40. | As a result, it had a low capacity factor ( CF ), on the order of 65 %.
