Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 2):(variation of load)
Concept:
Load Curve:
- The curve showing the variation of load on the power station with respect to time is known as a load curve.
- The area under the load curve gives the number of units generated or energy consumed.
- The load variations during a whole day are recorded half-hourly or hourly and are plotted against time on the graph. The curve obtained is known as a daily load curve as it shows the variations of a load during the day.
- The monthly load curve can be obtained from the daily load curves of that month. For this purpose, the average values of power over a month at different times of the day are calculated and then plotted on the graph.
- The monthly load curve is generally used to fix the rates of energy.
- The yearly load curve is obtained by considering the monthly load curves of that particular year.
- It is generally used to determine the annual load factor.
