A base load station having a capacity of 15 MW and a standby station having a capacity of 19 MW share a common load. Find the annual load factors and plant capacity factors of two power stations from the following data: Annual standby station output = 6.65×106 kWh Annual base load station output = 101.35 x 106 kWh Peak load on standby station = 14 MW Hours of use by standby station/year = 3800 hours
