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).
At the low range of capacity factors is the photovoltaic power station, which supplies power to the electricity grid from a large-scale photovoltaic system (PV system). An inherent limit to its capacity factor comes from its requirement of daylight, preferably with a sun unobstructed by clouds, smoke or smog, shade from trees and building ...
Unit 1 has a winter net dependable generating capacity of 1,167 megawatts. Unit 2 has a capacity of 1,165 megawatts. Unit 2 was the first of three new power reactors to enter service in the 21st century in the United States, followed by Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4.
The IFIP Working Group 10.4 [3] on "Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance" plays a role in synthesizing the technical community's progress in the field and organizes two workshops each year to disseminate the results. Dependability can be broken down into three elements: Attributes - a way to assess the dependability of a system
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.
Lake Kaweah, near Visalia, was roughly 21% full and similarly dropped to 19% of capacity over the weekend. Federal records show that more than 2 billion gallons were released from the reservoirs ...
Sequoyah's two units have a winter net dependable capacity of 2,440 megawatts, [2] making Sequoyah the most productive of TVA's three nuclear plants.Sequoyah is the second-most powerful power plant in Tennessee, after the Cumberland Fossil Plant northwest of Nashville, but actually generates more power.

The plant has a maximum dependable capacity of 1,152 megawatts of electricity. [3] The power station's main generator is rated at 1333.2 MVA at a 0.9 power factor (60 psi hydrogen pressure). In 2005, the plant was approved for a 8% (275 MWt) power uprate. The post-uprate nominal main generator output was rated at 1231 MW. [4]
