Electric load patterns for (residential/commercial /industrial) usageMuhammad Abdulhadi
Electrical loads vary based on whether they serve residential, commercial, or industrial needs. Residential loads peak in the evening and have a lower overall load factor, while commercial loads are highest between 8am and 6pm. Industrial loads tend to run more continuously with a higher load factor. The combination of residential and commercial loads on different circuits can result in an overall lower peak load than summing the individual peaks. Load patterns also vary by season and between weekdays and weekends. Residential use depends on location and activities, with air conditioning driving higher summer use. Commercial loads are higher on weekdays during business hours and increase in summer for air conditioning. Industrial patterns depend on work schedules and are more consistent than other sectors.
