In the United States and Europe, MELs comprise nearly one quarter of residential energy use, larger than either heating or cooling energy end-use. In Passive Haus and other low-energy houses , this percentage increases due to dramatic whole-house energy efficiency improvements while MELs remain largely unaltered.
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 ...
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 ]
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 ...
