Capacity Utilisation Factor definition

Capacity Utilisation Factor or “CUF” shall have the same meaning as provided in CERC (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2009 as amended from time to time; However for avoidance of any doubt, it is clarified that the CUF shall be calculated on the Contracted Capacity; In any Contract Year, if ‘X’ MWh of energy has been metered out at the Delivery Point for ‘Y’ MW Project capacity, CUF= (X MWh/(Y MW*8766)) X100%;
Capacity Utilisation Factor or “CUF” CUF in a Year shall mean the ratio of the net output energy injected at delivery point of the SPVPower Plant in a Year versus installed Project capacity x 365 x 24 (i.e. CUF = Cumulative Project output in kWh / (installed Project capacity in kWp x 24 x 365)) The annual CUF will be calculated every year from 1st April of the year (COD for first year) to 31st March next year.
Capacity Utilisation Factor or “CUF” shall mean the total energy sent out during the period expressed as a percentage of installed capacity reduced by the normative auxiliary consumption in that period and shall have the same meaning as provided in UERC (Tariff and Other Terms for Supply of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources and non-fossil fuel based Co- generating Stations) Regulations, 2018 as amended from time to time.

Examples of Capacity Utilisation Factor in a sentence

  • The normative year wise net saleable energy for the purpose of project specific tariff determination shall also be worked out on similar lines given in sub-regulations (1) and (2) but by taking into account the annual Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) in accordance with clause (ii) of sub-regulation (1) of regulation 15, the normative auxiliary consumption and transformation losses under regulation 37 and the energy losses in the project line under regulation 38.

  • By impugned order, the Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) has been determined at 29.15% as against 18.15% on average prevalent over the last 5 years computed for the WEG installations in the State.

  • Many of these factors are beyond our control and may change from time to time, which would affect our Capacity Utilisation Factor.

  • To estimate additional generation at the state level in the years 2011-12 and 2012-13, the capacity added under a specific RE technology has been multiplied by the Capacity Utilisation Factor of the RE technology, as per the CERC RE Tariff Regulations 2009, for the sake of uniformity.

  • To estimate RE supply at the state level, the capacity added under a specific RE technology has been multiplied by that RE technologies Capacity Utilisation Factor (as provided by CERC RE tariff regulation).
