Plant Load Factor (PLF) = Generation Achieved In Month x 100
Possible Generation in Month
Availability factor (AF) = Actual running hours x 100
Possible running hours
Loading factor = PLF
Availability
Specific Coal
Consumption = Coal consumption (fed to bunkers )
Generation
Specific Oil = Oil Consumption
Consumption Generation
Deemed Generation = Generation + Back down
Deemed PLF = Generation + Back down
Possible Generation
Heat rate = (Weighted average CV of coal*Coal consumption+
Weighted average CV of oil*Oil consumption)
Generation x 1000
