Residential Loads
Commercial Loads
Agricultural Loads
Industrial Loads
A device which taps electrical energy from the electric power
system is called a load on the system.
The load may be resistive (e.g., electric lamp), inductive (e.g.,
induction motor), capacitive or some combination of them.
The various types of loads on the power system are
Residential Loads/ Domestic Loads
Residential Loads or Domestic load consists of lights, fans,
refrigerators, heaters, television, small motors for pumping water
etc. Most of the residential load occurs only for some hours during
the day (i.e., 24 hours) e.g., lighting load occurs during night time
and domestic appliance load occurs for only a few hours. For this
reason, the load factor is low (10% to 12%).
Commercial Loads
Commercial load consists of lighting for shops, fans and electric
appliances used in restaurants etc. This class of load occurs for
more hours during the day as compared to the domestic load. The
commercial load has seasonal variations due to the extensive use
of airconditioners and space heaters.
Agricultural Loads/ Irrigation Loads
This type of load is the electric power needed for pumps driven by
motors to supply water to fields. Generally this type of load is
supplied for 12 hours.
Industrial Loads
Industrial load consists of load demand by industries. The
magnitude of industrial load depends upon the type of industry.
Thus small scale industry requires load upto 25 kW, medium scale
industry between 25kW and 100 kW and large-scale industry
requires load above 500 kW. Industrial loads are generally not
weather dependent.
Municipal load: Municipal load consists of street lighting,
power required for water supply and drainage purposes. Street
lighting load is practically constant throughout the hours of the
night. For water supply, water is pumped to overhead tanks by
pumps driven by electric motors. Pumping is carried out during
the off-peak period, usually occurring during the night. This
helps to improve the load factor of the power system.
Traction load: This type of load includes tram cars, railways
etc. This class of load has wide variation. During the morning
hour, it reaches peak value because people have to go to their
work place. After morning hours, the load starts decreasing and
again rises during evening since the people start coming to their
homes.

Distribution System Planning
System planning is essential to assure that the growing demand for electricity can be satisfied by distribution
system additions that are both technically adequate and reasonably economical.

Substation Site Selection

LOAD CHARACTERISTICS
Demand: “The demand of an installation or system is the load at the receiving terminals
averaged over a specified interval of time”.
Demand interval: It is the period over which the load is averaged. This selected Δt period
may be 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, or even longer. Of course, there may be situations where the
15 and 30 min demands are identical.
Maximum demand: “The maximum demand of an installation or system is the greatest of
all demands which have occurred during the specified period of time”.
Utilization Factor:
Plant Factor:
Diversity factor:
Demand Factor:
Coincidence factor:
Contribution factor: Manning defines ci as “the contribution factor of the ith
load to the group maximum demand.” It is given in per unit of the individual
maximum demand of the ith load. Therefore,
That is, the coincidence factor is equal to the contribution factor.
Load factor:
Loss factor:
Note: is applicable for the copper losses of the system but not for the iron losses.
An arbitrary and ideal load curve.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LOAD AND LOSS FACTORS
EDS1.ppt
Case 1: Off-peak load is zero. Since p1=0
That is, the load factor is equal to the loss factor, and they are equal to the t/T constant.
Case 2: Very short-lasting peak. Here, t=0 then
That is, the value of the loss factor approaches the value of the load factor squared.
Case 3: Load is steady. Here, t=T then
That is, the value of the loss factor approaches the value of the load factor.
Therefore, in general, the value of the loss factor is
However, Buller and Woodrow developed an approximate formula to relate the loss
factor to the load factor as
Loss factor curves as a function of load factor. (From Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Electric
Utility Engineering Reference Book-Distribution Systems, Vol. 3, Westinghouse Electric
Corporation, East Pittsburgh, PA, 1965.)
