Capacity Factors Sample Clauses
The Capacity Factors clause defines how the output or performance of a facility, typically in the context of energy generation, is measured and evaluated over a specific period. It usually sets out the method for calculating the ratio of actual output to the maximum possible output, often expressed as a percentage, and may specify reporting requirements or thresholds for acceptable performance. This clause ensures that both parties have a clear, objective standard for assessing whether the facility is operating efficiently, thereby allocating risk and responsibility if performance falls below agreed levels.
Capacity Factors. 13 The capacity factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual output of a power plant over a 14 period of time to its output if it had operated at full nameplate capacity the entire time. Table 7.8 15 provides the plant capacity factor for each of the reference resources, and Table 7.9 provides the 16 adjusted plant capacity factor for each of the reference resources to reflect the transmission 17 losses of energy delivered to the utilities’ systems. 18

Capacity Factors. The Capacity Factor shall be calculated by ▇▇▇ Period and defined as the percentage amount resulting from Delivered Energy in the applicable ▇▇▇ Period divided by the product resulting from multiplying the Contract Capacity times the number of hours in the applicable ▇▇▇ Period: For the Baseload product, the annual Capacity Factor shall be the weighted average of the Capacity Factors for each ▇▇▇ Period, such weighting to be an adjustment for the number of hours in the applicable ▇▇▇ Period.
Capacity Factors. Generation systems are expected to operate at the following capacity factors:
