3. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   An example, using a large commercial electrical bill: peak demand = 436 kW; use = 57 200 kWh; number of days in billing cycle = 30 d; Hence: 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 ...

4. 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 ...

6. Electricity pricing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing

   The power factor is the ratio of real to apparent power in a power system. Drawing more current results in a lower power factor. Larger currents require costlier infrastructure to minimize power loss, so consumers with low power factors get charged a higher electricity rate by their utility. [23]
