A power generating station has a maximum demand of \( 10,000 \mathrm{~kW} \) and the daily load on the station is as follows: (a) Draw the load curve and the load duration curve. (b) Choose the size and number of generating units. (c) Draw up the operating schedule of the units. (d) What reserve plant would be necessary? (e) Calculate the load factor, plant capacity factor and plant use factor of the station. [Ans. (b) Three units of 5000, 2500 and \( 2500 \mathrm{~kW} \) capacity, (d) \( 5000 \mathrm{~kW} \), (e) \( 55 \%, 36.66 \%, 86.5 \% \) ]
