A load curve (or Load Profile) is a chart showing the amount of electrical energy customers use over the course of time. Power producers use this information to plan how much electricity they will need to make available at any given time. Teletraffic engineering uses a similar load curve.
Famous quotes containing the words load and/or curve:
“To watch another carrying a load requires no exertion.”
—Chinese proverb.
“And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
