An electrical load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power, [1] [2] such as electrical appliances and lights inside the home. The term may also refer to the power consumed by a circuit. This is opposed to a power supply source, such as a battery or generator, which provides power. [2]
Plug load is the energy used by products that are powered by means of an ordinary AC plug (e.g., 100, 115, or 230 V). [1] This term generally excludes building energy that is attributed to major end uses ( HVAC , lighting , water heating , etc.) [ 1 ]
Reducing energy loads of main systems equipment providing heating, cooling and water heating can be achieved by upgrading physical equipment including replacing older equipment with newer, more energy-efficient units, upgrading the building envelope with insulation and higher-grade windows, creating more efficient zoning within heating/cooling air distribution ducts, and deployment of advanced ...
Graphs by hour of California's total electric load, the total load less solar and wind power (known as the duck curve) and solar power output. Data is for October 22, 2016, a day when the wind power output was low and steady throughout the day. In electrical engineering, a load profile is a graph of the variation in the electrical load versus ...
In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...
A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
