Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. [1] In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization or individual is capable of completing in a given period.
The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i.e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces. By metonymy, the term "volume" sometimes is used to refer to the corresponding region (e.g., bounding volume). [2] [3]
Capacity of a container, closely related to the volume of the container Capacity of a set , in Euclidean space, the total charge a set can hold while maintaining a given potential energy Capacity factor , the ratio of the actual output of a power plant to its theoretical potential output
Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or gross capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others.
The capacity credit can be much lower than the capacity factor (CF): in a not very probable scenario, if the riskiest time for the power system is after sunset, the capacity credit for solar power without coupled energy storage is zero regardless of its CF [3] (under this scenario all existing conventional power plants would have to be retained after the solar installation is added).

The latest edition incorporates the latest research on highway capacity, quality of service, active traffic and demand management, and travel time reliability. [2] The Sixth Edition of HCM consists of four Volumes. Three volumes are available either in hard copy or PDF, whereas Volume IV is only available online.
This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
