Level of power supplied from the electric system during a specific period of time.
The measure of total energy load at a specified point in time.
The total amount of electricity required at any given time by a utility's customers as expressed in kilowatts or megawatts.
The rate at which electricity is being used at any one given time. This is typically measured in kiloWatts (kW) or kiloVoltamps (kVa).
The maximum amount of electric current needed from a circuit to a generator.
The rate at which electricity is delivered to (or by) a system, part of a system, or a piece of equipment. Generally, "demand" refers to electricity use by customers.
Rate at which electricity is delivered, expressed in kilowatts, kilovolt-amperes or other unit, at a given instant or average over a specified time.
A measure of a customer's or system's load requirements over a period of time.
DEMAND refers to the total amount of electricity – measured in kilowatts – used at any given time.
In the electric industry, this refers to the amount of kilowatts of power that must be supplied to a customer (i.e., a load).(See Peak Demand)
The level at which electricity is delivered to end-users at a given point in time. Electric demand in measured in kilowatts.
The rate at which electricity is consumed. Peak demand is the highest rate electricity is consumed over a specific period of time.
The rate at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system or part of a system, generally expressed in kilowatts (kw) or megawatts (mw), at a given instant or averaged over any designated interval of time.
The rate at which electric energy is used at any instant or averaged over any designated period of time and which is measured in KW or KVA.
The rate at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system, generally expressed in kilowatts or megawatts, at a given instant or averaged over any designated interval of time. Demand should not be confused with Load.
The amount of electricity that must be generated to meet the needs of all customers at a certain point in time..
The amount of electricity needed at any one moment in time (moreso, any 15 or 30 minute period of time) in order to meet a meter's energy needs. Suppose you drove 100 mph for 1/2 hour. You drove 50 miles at 100 mph. You can equate the concept of demand to speed. In this case, mph is like demand, and miles driven is like energy. Remember
The amount of energy used at a specific moment in time, measured in watts, kilowatts (kW=1000 watts), megawatts (mW=1000 kilowatts, or 1 million watts). A large nuclear plant has about 1100 megawatts of capacity. A peaking plant may have only 100 megawatts of capacity. For scale, the demand of a domestic hot water heater is typically only 4 kilowatts. To confuse matters, demand is also used by economists to refer to the amount of any good or service which is procured by consumers. Thus, an economist can meaningfully talk about the demand for energy, while an engineer would see this as a contradiction in terms. Utility economists use demand in both senses, so look to the context.
The amount of electricity customers use at any given moment or averaged over any certain period of time. It is a measure of the rate at which customers are using electricity.
The rate at which electric energy or natural gas is delivered to or by a system at a given instant or averaged over a designated period, usually expressed in kilowatts or megawatts (electric); Mcfs or MMBtus (natural gas).
The amount of utility service that is needed by the various customer classes of a utility that has to be provided at any point in time through the utility's facilities. Examples: the electric power (in megawatts) that must be generated by the power plants of an electric utility to meet its customers' needs, the gas volumes that must be distributed through pipelines, or the telecommunications traffic that must be handled by a telephone utility's central office.
The amount of power required to meet the customer's load at a given instant or averaged over any designated interval of time.
The instantaneous electric energy use, either of a single customer or for all customers.
The amount of power required by all of the customers in a given service territory at a given point in time. It is usually measured in aggregate for a utility. see also: Load Profile
The highest amount of power (average kw over an interval) recorded for a builder or facility in a selected time frame.
The amount of load required by equipment actually taking service in any 15-minute demand interval, and is always less than or equal to the connected load of equipment at the location. Demand is measured in kilowatts (KW).
The amount of energy per unit of time required to satisfy the utility loads averaged over any given time.
The instantaneous electric energy use, either of a single customer or system-wide. Also known as load.
1. The amount of energy used at a specific moment in time, measured in watts, kilowatts (kW=1000 watts), megawatts (mW=1000 kilowatts, or 1 million watts).2. The invisible force that some people claim to be restricting their ability to advance in society. (pronounced "da' man".)
Demand is the maximum average power in kilowatts (kW) used during any one-half hour interval, often referred to as "Peak Demand." For example, five 1,000-Watt electric heaters operated continuously for one-half hour would establish a metered demand of 5 kW.
The average rate at which energy (kilowatt hours) is consumed during a specified interval of time.
This is the instantaneous use of electricity, measured in watts.
The rate at which fluid is delivered to or required by a system, part of a system, or a piece of equipment, usually expressed in terms of volume per unit of time.
the rate expressed in kilowatts, or megawatts, at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system, or part of a system at a given instant or averaged over an designated interval of time
Usage * # Intervals Per Hour
The amount of electricity used at any given instant or averaged over a designated period of time. Demand is usually in measured in kilowatts or Megawatts. The Peak Demand is the highest 15 or 30 minute recorded demand period over 12-months.
The rate at which electric power is delivered to or by a system; normally expressed in kilowatts, megawatts, or kilovolt-amperes.
The amount of power a customer takes at a given moment.
The total amount of electricity required at any given time by a utility's customers. (also see "peak demand".)
The amount of energy drawn by customers at a specific time.
For NGLs: The rate of consumption of refined products, normally measured in millions of barrels per day, or in million tonnes per year.For natural gas: The rate at which natural gas is delivered to or by a system at a given hourly rate usually averaged over a 24-hour gas day, normally measured in Dths/MMBtus per day.
Any pacing mode or pacemaker that delivers an output pulse only when necessary, that is, when the intrinsic rate is less than the programmed base rate.
The rate at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system, part of a system or piece of equipment, at a given instant or averaged over any designated period of time.
The level at which electricity or natural gas is delivered to users at a given point in time. Electric demand is expressed in kilowatts.
The rate at which energy is delivered to loads and scheduling points by generation, transmission, and distribution facilities.
The amount of electricity drawn from an electric system at a given time, measured in kilowatts.
The rate at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system, part of a system, or a piece of equipment. The primary source of demand is the power-consuming equipment of the customers.
The rate at which gas is delivered to or by a system, part of a system, or a piece of equipment, expressed in cubic feet or therms or multiples thereof, for a designated period of time called the demand interval.
The rate at which electriciy or natural gas is delivered to or by a system in a given instant, or averaged over a designated period. Usually expressed in kilowatts or megawatts (electricity) or Mcfs or MMBTUs (natural gas).
The rate at which electricity is delivered to or by a system, part of a system, or piece of equipment expressed in kilowatts, kilovoltamperes, or other suitable unit, at a given instant or averaged over a specified period of time.
