2. Electrical load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

   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.

3. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

   Power-flow study. In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage ...

4. Power factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

   Power factor. In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC power system is defined as the ratio of the real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit. Real power is the average of the instantaneous product of voltage and current and represents the capacity of the electricity for performing work.

5. Diversity factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_factor

   Diversity factor. In the context of electricity, the diversity factor is the ratio of the sum of the individual non-coincident maximum loads of various subdivisions of the system to the maximum demand of the complete system. The diversity factor is always greater than 1. The aggregate load is time dependent as well as being dependent upon ...

6. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   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 ...

7. Load balancing (electrical power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(electrical...

   Load balancing (electrical power) Electrical substation. Load balancing, load matching, or daily peak demand reserve refers to the use of various techniques by electrical power stations to store excess electrical power during low demand periods for release as demand rises. [1] The aim is for the power supply system to have a load factor of 1.

8. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

   The DC load line is the load line of the DC equivalent circuit, defined by reducing the reactive components to zero (replacing capacitors by open circuits and inductors by short circuits). It is used to determine the correct DC operating point, often called the Q point. Once a DC operating point is defined by the DC load line, an AC load line ...

9. Load profile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

   In electrical engineering, a load profile is a graph of the variation in the electrical load versus time. A load profile will vary according to customer type (typical examples include residential, commercial and industrial), temperature and holiday seasons. Power producers use this information to plan how much electricity they will need to make ...
