Cumalative Annual Energy Generated (GWh)
- PLANT FACTOR - The plant factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual energy output of the power plant over a period of time to its potential output if it had operated at full nameplate capacity the entire time.
- AVAILABILITY - The availability factor of a power plant is the amount of time that it is able to produce electricity over a certain period, divided by the amount of the time in the period. Occasions where only partial capacity is available may or may not be deducted.
- FAULT FACTOR - The fault factor of a power plant is the ratio between the amount of time the plant shutdown due to a fault and the total time including time of running and time of fault outage. In Laxapana Complex the value shown above is the average of all plants.
