Load curve analysis for an industrial consumer

Load curve analysis is an efficient instrument aimed at carrying through studies and planning, necessary for developing electric energy distribution networks and for reducing the electric energy internal consumption. The paper herein presents the analysis of the load curves for an industrial consumer fed from the network of 20 kV, 50 Hz. There are calculated the characteristic parameters for daily and monthly load curves, with the method of statistical analysis for the data measured in real time through data transmission counters. Data analysis indicates the necessity of effecting the measurements in real time, during both winter and summer, as the shape of the load curve characteristics varies.
