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.
