The chart below shows an hourly load profile over a 24 h period. The Y -Axis is average power in kW and to find the energy of that hour (energy = power x time), it'd be the same value since you're multiplying by 1 hour. For example, hour #3, average power is 1 kW and energy of hour #3 is 1kW1h=1kWh. Please notice the difference in units ( kW vs . kWh ). Remember that kW/h is not a unit. It's either KW or kWh with the different multiples. BC Hydro typically calculates monthly peak demand based on the average power of the maximum three consecutive 5-min intervals. Other utilities may calculate peak demand slightly differently. For this exercise, assume that the monthly peak demand is based on the maximum power over a 1-hour interval.
What is the peak demand (kW) in that day and the energy consumption in kWh ? Hint: to calculate daily energy consumption, calculate it for each hour as I showed you above and add them all up.
