An electric power plant is operated continuously for 115 mon

An electric power plant is operated continuously for 11.5 months of the year at 95% power during this period. The unit is then shut down for half a month due to turbine maintenance. For that year of operation, compute: (a) the capacity factor, and (b) the availability factor.

A) Capacity factor = 95% since only 95% of power is used.

b) Availability factor = 11.5 months only since half month closed for turbing maintenance.
