Abstract

Electric load management and energy conservation are major problems facing the electrical utilities. Three basic modes of energy conservation are identified: demand reduction, increased efficiency and substitution for scarce fuels. Direct and indirect load management objectives are: to reduce peak loads and have future growth in electrical loads in such a manner to cause more of it to fall off the system peak. In this paper an over view of proposed and implemented load management options for both the utility and consumers is presented.
