21. The capacity factor is determined by dividing the actual output with the maximum possible output. 22. This was exceeded in 2012 with a capacity factor of 55 %, a global record. 23. When comparing price per watt, capacity factor should be considered in the overall cost comparison. 24. As a result, the actual capacity factor of the station is less than 5 %. 25. According to, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District observed a 15 % capacity factor in 2005. 26. The capacity factor is 34 %, slightly above the word's average ( 30 % ). 27. For a wind farm, the capacity factor is mostly determined by the availability of wind. 28. The project team noted that the expected capacity factor of 42 % was a considerable underestimation. 29. Over the last decade, the station has maintained a capacity factor of greater than 93 percent. 30. This enables OTEC to provide a base-load electricity supply with a capacity factor of 80 %-100 %.
