A curve of power versus time showing the level of a load for each time period covered.
A curve on a chart showing power (kilowatts) supplied, plotted against time of occurrence, and illustrating the varying magnitude of the load during the period covered.
A curve showing instantaneous demand (kVA or MVA) versus time. Curves are usually plotted for one day or one week. Integrating the load curve will provide the amount of energy consumed.
A graphical representation of power use over time showing the load volume for each time period covered.
A load curve is a chart showing the amount of electricity customers use over the course of time. Power producers use this information to plan how much electricity they will need to make at given times.
