[amp_mcq option1=”equal to unity” option2=”less than unity” option3=”more than unity” option4=”equal to zero Diversity factor is always” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: B. less than unity<\/p>\n
Load factor is the ratio of average load to the maximum demand during a given period of time. It is a measure of how efficiently a power station is being used. A load factor of 1 means that the power station is being used at its maximum capacity all the time. This is very unlikely to be the case, as demand for electricity varies throughout the day and night. Therefore, load factors are typically less than 1.<\/p>\n
Diversity factor is the ratio of the sum of the individual loads to the total load. It is a measure of how much the loads on a power system vary. A diversity factor of 1 means that all the loads on the system are equal. This is very unlikely to be the case, as different loads will have different patterns of demand. Therefore, diversity factors are typically greater than 1.<\/p>\n
