Abstract
ABSTRACT RURAL electrical utilities and rate designers need an accurate prediction of the peak power use of individual customers as well as energy use. The research report is part of an overall study to provide accurate rural electric demand data. Electric demands were recorded on a rural feeder line serving farmstead and irrigation loads and on a residential feeder line serving single family homes in a nearby subdivision. Data were recorded from June 1980 through September of 1983 providing time-based demand and energy data for four irrigation seasons and three spring, fall, and winter seasons. Regression analyses were used to determine demand and energy relationships. A high correlation between demand and energy was found for farmstead, residential, and irrigation loads. Median residential daily demands ranged from 1.5 to 2 kW while the farmstead median was 2.5 to 3 kW. Median daily energy used was 25 to 30 kWh for residences and 40 to 45 kWh for farmsteads.
