Load Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Load Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

L.F. = \frac{P Avg}{P peak}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

L.F. = \frac{22400kW}{34900kW}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

L.F. = \frac{22400}{34900}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

L.F. = 0.641833810888252

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

L.F. = 0.6418
