Abstract

SYNOPSIS There is, nowadays, an increasing social awareness of the need to make better use of all our resources, and one of these resources is our extensive investment in electricity generation and distribution systems. At the present time such systems have sufficient capacity to cope with maximum peak loads that occur infrequently and only for short periods. The average load factor is significantly below unity. Furthermore, as the demand for power inevitably increases, the capacity of the supply and distribution systems simultaneously have to be enlarged to maintain this margin of excess capacity. A case is presented here for the use of existing technology to facilitate a gradual transition to a more cost effective basis for electricity consumption and supply. The basis of the proposed method lies in domestic load management. A research team of architects and engineers is suggested.
