Lowest level of power production during a given season or specified time frame.
That part of electricity demand which does not vary over a given time period.
Base load is the level below which electricity demand never drops. (i.e. A site with a high maximum demand of 750 kVa whose demand never drops below 250 kVa would have a base load of 250 kVa.)
A utility’s minimum load over a given period. A baseload generating facility provides the basic amount of electric power needed year-round; normally a large, efficient power plant having a low cost per kilowatt-hour generated.
minimum energy level a company provides its customers on a constant basis.
that portion of electricity demand on a utility system that remains at a nearly steady level.
The minimum level of electric power demand of a utility, region, or utility customer, generally expressed in units of kilowatts or megawatts.
Base load is that portion of a building load demand which is constant. It is the "base" of the building demand curve.
The minimum constant amount of load connected to the power system over a given time period, usually on a monthly, seasonal, or yearly basis.
The minimum amount of electricity being used during non-operational hours.
The average amount of electric power that a utility must supply to the grid at any given time.
The amount of electrical power that needs to be delivered at all times and during all seasons.
The lowest level of power production needs during a season or year.
The demand for Gas on a supplier's system that remains fairly steady over a period of time.
This is the usual minimum power requirement for a system. In a house, for instance, this might include power required to maintain a refrigerator at constant temperature.
The term applied to that portion of a station or boiler load that is practically constant for long periods.
A power plant that is planned to run continually except for maintenance and scheduled or unscheduled outages. Also refers to the nearly steady level of demand on a utility system.
The average amount of electric power that a utility must supply in any period.
The minimum continuous electricity load over a given period of time.
That part of electricity demand which is continuous, and does not vary over a 24-hour period. Approximately equivalent to the minimum daily load.
The minimum load experienced by an electric utility system over a given period of time.
