  2. Load duration curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_duration_curve

    A load duration curve (LDC) is used in electric power generation to illustrate the relationship between generating capacity requirements and capacity utilization. A LDC is similar to a load curve but the demand data is ordered in descending order of magnitude, rather than chronologically. The LDC curve shows the capacity utilization ...

  3. Load profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

    In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...

  4. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

    load factor = ( [ 57 200 kWh / {30 d × 24 h/d} ] / 436 kW) × 100% = 18.22%; It can be derived from the load profile of the specific device or system of devices. Its value is always less than one because maximum demand is never lower than average demand, since facilities likely never operate at full capacity for the duration of an entire 24 ...

  5. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Actual characteristic curve of the compressor is the modified version of the theoretical characteristic curve. In this we take care of both shock and friction losses as shown in the Figure 4. As seen in the figure the steepness of the curve increases at higher mass flow rates because since there will be higher frictional losses at high flow ...

    Load duration curve, in electric power generation; London Dumping Convention; Louis Dreyfus Company, a global merchant firm. Louisiana Department of Corrections, now Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections; Lysine decarboxylase; Legoland Discovery Centre

  7. Curtailment (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtailment_(electricity)

    Curtailment has since increased [7] [14] to 150-300 GWh/month in spring of 2020 and 2021, [15] [16] mainly solar power at noon as part of the duck curve. [17] In Hawaii, curtailment reached 20% on the island of Maui in Hawaii in the second and third quarters of 2020. [18]

  8. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    Load regulation is the capability to maintain a constant voltage (or current) level on the output channel of a power supply despite changes in the supply's load (such as a change in resistance value connected across the supply output).

  9. Goodman relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodman_relation

    Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.
