 For calculation of  capacity factor, take the ratio of the total amount of energy, plant produced during a period of time ana  amount of energy the plant would have produced at full capacity i.e rated value.

Capability Factor measures how well a plant performs and it is expressed in percentage. According to NEI capability factor is the % of maximum electricity  a plant can supply to a grid, limited only by factors within control of plant managers.
