What is the annual maximum load utilization hours?

The annual maximum load utilization hours refer to the ratio of the annual electricity consumption of a user or region to the maximum load that occurred in that year.

The maximum load utilization hour of annual electricity consumption is the equivalent practical hour converted from the actual annual electricity consumption according to the maximum load, and its value should be less than or equal to 8760h, which is often used to predict the maximum load.

The calculation method of annual maximum load utilization hours is Tmax=A/Pmax, where Tmax is annual maximum load utilization hours, h; A is the annual electricity consumption, kW·h;; ; Pmax is the maximum annual power load, kw.

Extended data

Equipment standby rate needs two values, one is available capacity; One is the maximum load. Reserve rate = available capacity minus maximum load/maximum load.

However, China's available capacity and maximum load data need to be improved. Like the maximum load, some data published nationwide only include one load for unified dispatching, but in fact, there are still many power loads in China that have not been included in unified dispatching, and such data needs to be improved.

In addition, there is no accepted view on how to calculate the available capacity, and the data and theory in this area need to be re-studied. The problem of inconsistent understanding of the standards just mentioned also needs to be solved through in-depth research.
