<br />Otiu239 <br />Power <br /> <br />Powerplant Capacity. - The capacity for powerplants is the nameplate rating in <br />kW (kilowatts) and generally includes only the main generating units, except for <br />very large plants such as Grand Coulee and Hoover where the station service units <br />are included in the total rated capacity. <br /> <br />Circuit Mile. - For single circuit electric power transmission lines, circuit <br />miles are equal to geographic miles or pole miles. For double circuit <br />transmission lines, the number of circuit miles is twice the structure, pole, or <br />geographic miles. <br /> <br />Generation. - The energy generated in kWh (kilowatt-hours) represents gross <br />generation. It consists of the total generation minus station use. <br /> <br />Substation Capacity. - The substation capacities are given in kVA (kilovolt <br />amperes). To determine the load in kilowatts, which could be served from the <br />transformers, the kilovolt-ampere rating should be multiplied by the load power <br />factor. <br /> <br />* The criteria in parentheses was used in the 1961 edition of Reclamation Project <br />Data. <br /> <br />9 <br />
