The document describes the design and implementation of a power generation plant to meet the specified load requirements. A load duration curve shows the energy needs over 24 hours totals 38750 kWh. The plant has a capacity of 3500 kW from generators of 250 kW, 500 kW, and 1000 kW capacities. The generator switching schedule aims to meet the load and results in a plant usage factor of 100%, indicating the design effectively meets the energy demands. In conclusion, the generator selection and switching strategy provide reliable power generation while minimizing operating costs.

Since the load is seemed to be of industrial nature, production strategy and switching will be designed accordingly.
The demand will be maximum in the daytime with expected peak hours and will be less in night hours.
Since there is a constant demand of 500kW irrespective of what hour of day it is, it is assumed as a base load.

Here 500kW is considered to be a base load whereas as keeping in view the Maximum Demand of 2500kW, a reserve
capacity of 1000kW is also included.

Conclusive Remarks:
Hence, it is evident from the above results that generator selection is quite good as a plant usage factor of 100%
is achieved. Although many of the practical factors are not taken into account, even then the design is effective
and have fewer running losses.
This has been achieved through effective generator switching and by selecting the most appropriate set of
generators possible.
In designing process, it is kept in mind to have a reliable base load available continuously and at the same time
reserve capacity of 1000kW in comparison with Maximum Demand.
