Scientific Papers for Energy Energy Generation Capacity Factor 08-Mar-25 Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net Abstract: The capacity factor is defined as the long-term (usually annual) average amount of power produced compared to the nameplate power. Nuclear power stations operate at about 92% capacity factor; their job is to provide baseload power, and stability is best achieved with steady power output. Energy Wind and Solar Big Surprise! 28-Feb-25 Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net Abstract: Reward some behavior, and you get more of it. Everybody who has been paying attention has noticed that wind and solar have been highly subsidized. Unsurprisingly, we now have more of it.
