Maximum demand on a power plant is_________________?
Correct answer: A. the greatest of all "short time interval averaged" demand during a period
- A. the greatest of all "short time interval averaged" demand during a period
- B. instantaneous maximum value of kVA supplied during a period
- C. both A. or B.
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Maximum demand is the highest average load recorded over a specified short interval during the period. An instantaneous kVA peak is not used because it may last too briefly to represent the station's demand.
