Introduction In the world of electrical power systems, few concepts are as misunderstood yet as financially and operationally critical as Maximum Demand (MD) . Whether you are designing a skyscraper’s electrical infrastructure, managing a factory’s energy bills, or sizing a backup generator, you cannot escape the gravity of Maximum Demand.
[ MD = \sum (Individual\ Peak\ Demands \times Coincidence\ Factor) ] maximum demand calculation
[ MD = \left( \sum_i=1^n (Load_i \times Demand\ Factor_i) \right) \times Diversity\ Factor ] Introduction In the world of electrical power systems,
