PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS


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
