c5cfac679b There are several appliances which keep running at all the times, no matter what. Load is further categorised as base load and peak load depending upon the nature of the electrical components connected. Baseload power plants do not change production to match power consumption demands since it is more economical to operate them at constant production levels. The base load power is determined by the load duration curve of the system. However, many peaker plants are able to use petroleum as a backup fuel. Soc. See also[edit].
Base Load Power plants Plants that are running continuously over extended periods of time are said to be base load power plant. Baseload plants are the production facilities used to meet some or all of a given region's continuous energy demand, and produce energy at a constant rate, usually at a low cost relative to other production facilities available to the system.[1] Examples of baseload plants using nonrenewable fuels include nuclear and coal-fired plants. I learnt from this. Retrieved 2008-08-03. Base load power sources are power stations which can consistently generate the electrical power needed to satisfy minimum demand. Among the renewable energy sources, hydroelectric, geothermal,[5] biogas, biomass, solar thermal with storage and ocean thermal energy conversion can provide base load power. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is the largest-capacity form of grid energy storage available, used for averaging off peak and peak electrical demands. The references used may be made clearer with a different or consistent style of citation, footnoting, or external linking. Peak load is the time of high demand.
