Load Curves
As stated above, the load on the
system varies with time. This
variation can be represented
graphically and is termed as “Load
Curve”.
Connected Load
It is de ned as “the total sum of all
the loads (ON and OFF) connected to
the power system.
Average Load
As the name implies, it indicates the
average value of all the loads
occurring on the station for a given
time period (such as day/s or
month/s or year/s)
It can be expressed as
Average load =
No. of units (kWh) generated
in given time period
The time period
Maximum Demand
It is de ned as “the maximum value
of load that occurs on the system
during a speci c time period.”
Demand Factor
It is de ned as “the ratio of maximum
demand to the connected load of the
system.”

It can be daily/monthly/yearly load
factor according to the time period
considered. It is less than unity
because Average load < Maximum
demand.
Diversity Factor
A power station supplies a variety of
consumers. Each consumer will have
an individual maximum demand and
such max demands may not occur all
at the same time.
Diversity factor =
