DAILY LOAD 1086.59 895.58
TOTAL LOAD FOR WEEKDAYS:
1086.59 MW-hr

TOTAL LOAD FOR SUNDAYS:

895.58 MW-hr

AREA OF LOAD WEEKDAYS:

Assume: 1 hr = 1cm
4MW = 1cm
1 𝑐𝑚2
AREA = (1086.59 MW-hr)((4𝑀𝑊)(1ℎ𝑟))
AREA = 271.6475 cm2

AREA OF LOAD SUNDAYS:

Assume: 1 hr = 1cm
4MW = 1cm
1 𝑐𝑚2
AREA = (895.58 MW-hr)((4𝑀𝑊)(1ℎ𝑟))
AREA = 223.895 cm2

ANNUAL KW-HR GENERATED:

Assume: 1 year = 52 weeks = 364 days
52 Sundays, 312 Weekdays
Annual KW-hr = 312(1086.59 MW-hr) + 52(895.58 MW-hr)
= 385586.24 MW-hr
Annual KW-hr Generated = 385,586,240 KW-hr
