Load factor tables

摘要

Annual load factors for units over the 12 months to end September 2008, and lifetime (which are also called cumulative) load factors to end September 2008, are presented in Table 1. The figures are calculated on the same basis as that used since early 1976 so that trends can be established.rnAnnual load factors are calculated by dividing the gross generation of a reactor in a one-year period by the gross capacity of the reactor (sometimes called output), as originally designed, multiplied by the number of hours in the calendar year. The figures are expressed as percentages. Where a plant is uprated, the revised capacity is used from the date of the uprating.
