example 2.2 (a) maximum demand of consumer A =1.100000kW demand factor of consumer A =0.440000 maximum demand of consumer B =1kW demand factor of consumer B = 0.333333 (b) The variation in demand versus time curves are plotted and shown in Fig This is known as chonological load curve. (c) maximum demand of the group is 1100Wgroup diversity factor = 1.909091 (d) energy consumed by A during 24 hours is =5500Wh it is seen that energy consumed by A is equal to the area under the chronological load curve of A energy consumed by B during 24 hours is300x1+100x2+200x8+600x5=6900Wh (e) maximum energy which A could consume in 24hours = 26.40kWh maximum energy which B consume in 24 hours is =24.00kWh (f) actual energy/maximum energy for A = 5500/26400 =0.208333 for b =6900/24000 =0.287500
