Annual capacity factor definition

Annual capacity factor means the ratio of the net energy produced by a generating facility in a year, to the amount of energy that could have been produced if the facility operated continuously at full capacity year round.
Annual capacity factor means the ratio between the actual heat input to a CHP system from an individual fuel or combination of fuels during a period of 12 consecutive calendar months and the potential heat input to the CHP system from all fuels had the unit been operated at 8,760 hours/year at the maximum design heat input capacity;
Annual capacity factor means the actual energy produced in a year divided by the energy that would have been produced if the facility was operating continuously at the maximum rating.

Examples of Annual capacity factor in a sentence

  • For the avoidance of doubt, if Witness Testing is required under the Interconnection Agreement as a result of the Annual Capacity Factor exceeding the Maximum Capacity Factor for any Annual Period, Seller is responsible for the costs of such Witness Testing as set forth in the Interconnection Agreement.

  • PSE is entitled to inspect the Facility if the Annual Capacity Factor exceeds the Maximum Capacity Factor.

  • If the Annual Capacity Factor is less than the Minimum Capacity Factor for any Annual Period, Seller must make necessary adjustments or repairs to the Facility to remedy such deficiency so that the Annual Capacity Factor for the next Annual Period equals or exceeds the Minimum Capacity Factor.

  • The Annual Capacity Factor is less than the Minimum Capacity Factor for two (2) consecutive Annual Periods.


More Definitions of Annual capacity factor

Annual capacity factor means the ratio of the amount of fuel burned by a boiler in a calendar year to the amount of fuel it could have burned if it had operated at the rated heat input capacity for 100 percent of the time during the calendar year.
Annual capacity factor means the ratio between the actual heat input to a boiler from the fuels burned during a calendar year and the potential heat input to the boiler had it been operated for 8,760 hours during a year at the maximum steady state design heat input capacity.
Annual capacity factor means the actual energy produced in a year divided by the energy that would have been
Annual capacity factor means the ratio between the actual heat input to the steam generating units from fuel use during a period of 12 consecutive calendar months and the potential heat input to the steam generating units from fuels had the steam generating units been operated for 8,760 hours during that 12-month period at the maximum design heat input capacity of 4922.7 MMBtu/hr. Therefore, a maximum annual capacity factor of 95% means fuel use will not exceed 40,966,709 MMBtu during a period of 12 consecutive calendar months.
Annual capacity factor means 90%.
