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 plate frequently contains the names of the machine and its manufacturer, so the rating plate is often called a name plate (hence the term "nameplate capacity" for a generator), although many devices carry separate nameplates and rating plates. [1]
Boxberg Power Station (in German commonly referred as Kraftwerk Boxberg) is a lignite-fired power station with three units at Boxberg, near Weißwasser, Saxony, Eastern Germany. Since the late 2012, it has a capacity of 2,575 MW. In 2001, it was acquired by Vattenfall Europe, a subdivision of Vattenfall.
This is a list of operational hydroelectric power stations in the United States with a current nameplate capacity of at least 100 MW. The Hoover Dam in Arizona and Nevada was the first hydroelectric power station in the United States to have a capacity of at least 1,000 MW upon completion in 1936. Since then numerous other hydroelectric power ...
In the context of domestic PV installations, the kilowatt (symbol kW) is the most common unit for nominal power, for example P peak = 1 kW. Colloquial English sometimes conflates the quantity power and its unit by using the non-standard label watt-peak (symbol W p), possibly prefixed as in kilowatt-peak (kW p), megawatt-peak (MW p), etc.
"Cap." is the rated nameplate capacity of the wind farm "When" is the year when the windfarm was or will be commissioned and put into service. "Cost" is the total capital cost of the project up to commissioning. "Cap. Fac." is the average capacity factor, i.e. the average power generated by the windfarm, as a percentage of its nameplate capacity.
The net capacity factor is the unitless ratio of actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the theoretical maximum electrical energy output over that period. [1] The theoretical maximum energy output of a given installation is defined as that due to its continuous operation at full nameplate capacity over
According to the Associação Brasileira de Distribuidores de Energia Elétrica (ABRADEE) there are 201 hydroelectric power stations in Brazil with a nameplate capacity of more than 30 MW; the total capacity of these power stations in 2015 was 84,703 MW. There are an additional 476 hydroelectric power stations with a nameplate capacity between ...
