__________ is invariably used for peak load
Correct answer: C. Pumped storage plant
- A. Nuclear power plant
- B. Steam turbine plant
- C. Pumped storage plant
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Pumped-storage plants store energy during off-peak periods and release it rapidly during demand peaks, making them particularly suited to peak-load service. Nuclear and steam plants are primarily base-load plants.
