The capacity factor of a power plant is the ratio of its output over a period of time to its potential output if continuous operations over the same period of time were possible. The capacity factor should not be confused with the availability factor of the power plant, as it is the amount of time that it is able to produce electricity over a certain period, divided by the amount of the time in the period.

The availability factor of a power plant is basically the amount of time it is able to produce electricity over a period of time, divided by the total amount of the time in the period. Partial capacity availability should be considered. The availability factor is not the same as the capacity factor.

Energy- and cost-efficiency analysis of greenhouse gas emission reduction using slow steaming of ships: case study RO-RO cargo vessel
Published in Ships and Offshore Structures, 2018
Shaft generators and motors CO2 emissions (SGe) can be calculated as follows:where PPTI(i) is the power of individual shaft motors divided by the weighted average efficiency of the shaft generators; feff(i) is the availability factor of each energy efficiency technology; PAEff(i) is the auxiliary engine power reduction due to innovative technologies for electrical energy efficiency; CFAE is the auxiliary engine fuel conversion factor for CO2 emission; and SFCAE is the auxiliary engine specific fuel consumption.
