In a load curve the highest point represents______________?
Correct answer: A. peak demand
- A. peak demand
- B. average demand
- C. diversified demand
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A load curve plots demand against time, so its highest ordinate is the maximum or peak demand reached during the period. Average demand is obtained from the area under the curve divided by the time interval.
