Solution:

Unit generated in 24 hrs = 62,500 kWh
Rated capacity of the plant = 6000 kW
Average demand =

{62,500}/24

= 2604.167 kW
Plant capacity factor

={\text " Actual energy produced "}/{\text "Maximum energy that could have been produced "}

={\text " Average demand " ×T }/{\text " Plant capacity " ×100}

={\text " Average demand " }/{\text " Plant capacity " }

Capacity factor =

2604.167/6000

= 43.4%
