In telecommunication, electronics and the electrical power industry, the term demand factor has the following meanings:
1. Electronics refers to the flow of charge (moving Electrons through Nonmetal conductors (mainly Semiconductors, whereas electrical The ratio of (a) the maximum real power consumed by a system to (b) the maximum real power that would be consumed if the entire load connected to the system were to be activated at the same time. Electric power is defined as the rate at which Electrical energy is transferred by an Electric circuit. System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek systēma is a set of interacting or interdependent Entities, real or abstract For other uses see Time (disambiguation Time is a component of a measuring system used to sequence events to compare the durations of
Note: The maximum real power is usually integrated over a specified time interval, such as 15 or 30 minutes, and is usually expressed in kilowatts. The real power that would be consumed if the entire load connected to the system were to be activated at the same time is obtained by summing the power required by all the connected equipment. This load is expressed in kilowatts if the consumed real power is expressed in kilowatts.
2. The ratio of (a) the maximum power, integrated over a specified time interval, such as 15 or 30 minutes, and usually expressed in kilowatts, consumed by a system, to (b) the maximum volt-amperes, expressed in kilovolt-amperes if the power is expressed in kilowatts, integrated over a time interval of the same duration, though not necessarily during the same interval. System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek systēma is a set of interacting or interdependent Entities, real or abstract In Physics, power (symbol P) is the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted or the amount of energy required or expended for For other uses see Time (disambiguation Time is a component of a measuring system used to sequence events to compare the durations of
Charges for electrical power may be based on the demand factor as well as the kilowatt-hours of electrical energy consumed, to take account of wattless current.
