Load factor is defined as the ratio of the average load over a given period to the maximum demand (peak load) occurring in that period.
\(Load \space factor={Average \space demand \over Maximum \space demand}\)
The average demand is given by:
\(Average \space demand={Area \space under \space curve \over Total \space time(in\space hrs)}\)
Calculation
\(Average \space demand={(6\times 8760)+(1/2\space \times \space 8760 \space \times 14 ) \over 8760}\)
Average demand = 13 MW
\(Load \space factor={13\over 20}=0.65\)
Load factor = 65%
