The design capacity of a machine or process. Used to determine Ideal Cycle Time

A measurement indicating the approximate generating capability of a project or unit, as designated by the manufacturer.  In many cases, the unit is capable of generating substantially more than the nameplate capacity since most generators installed in newer hydroelectric plants have a continuous overload capacity of 115 percent of the nameplate cap [..]

The power capacity of a generating device that is typically affixed to the generating device. Nameplate capacity typically, but not necessarily, represents the maximum continuous power output of the generating device.*

The official designed capacity of a generating plant or processing facility.

Estimated theoretical capacity based on design specifications.
