How do you control peak demand?

Tips to reduce peak demand

Spread out using major appliances across separate 30-minute periods during higher-cost on-peak demand hours (for example, between 2 to 2:30 p.m., 2:30 to 3 p.m. etc.).
Shift the use of appliances away from higher-cost on-peak demand hours, to lower-cost off-peak hours.

How is coincidence factor calculated?

Coincidence factor is the peak of a system divided by the sum of peak loads of its individual components.

What does coincident demand mean?

3.2.1 Coincident demand. The sum of the demands for the same time period. Sometimes also called the simultaneous demand or the diversified demand.

What is coincident peak demand?

Coincident peak is your facility’s demand during the time when electricity demand systemwide is the highest.

How do you calculate maximum demand per kwh?

Maximum demand Calculation: Maximum Demand= Connected Load x Load Factor / Power Factor.

What is the peak demand time?

Peak demand is the time when consumer demand for electricity is at its highest; this can be by day, season or year. Peak periods tend to be in the morning during winter months (when lots of heating is occurring) and in the afternoon during summer months (lots of cooling).

What is non coincident?

Definition of noncoincidence : the fact or state of not coinciding : lack of coincidence Net metering will simply shift the burden created by noncoincidence of generation and load from the end user to the utility.—

What is a non coincident load?

Noncoincident loads are two or more loads that are unlikely to be in use simultaneously, so only the larger of the two loads must be used for the calculation. Careful use of this optional calculation can save customers money and still provide a very safe and effective job.

What is non-coincident peak demand?

Non-coincident peak is the sum of the individual maximum demands regardless of time of occurrence within a specified period.

What is load demand factor?

It is ratio of average load to maximum demand during certain period of time (e.g. day/month/year) is called load factor. Following formula is used to calculate Load Factor. Load factor = Average Demand/Maximum Demand.

What is maximum diversified demand?

Maximum diversified demand a. Maximum of the sum of the demands imposed by a group of loads over a particular period.
