Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLoad Duration Curve: When the load elements of a load curve are arranged in the order of descending magnitudes, the curve thus obtained is called a load duration curve.
- The load duration curve is the plot between load and time.
- The load duration curve is constructed using the daily load curve. The area under the load duration curve represents the total energy generated by the utility's generating system in the considered period.
- It indicates the number of hours for which the particular load lasts during a day.
It is usually divided into the three parts:
- Baseload: The base load is the load below which the demand never falls and is supplied 100% of the time.
- Peaking load: It occurs for about 15% of the time
- Intermediate load: It represents the remaining load between the base load and the peaking load.
