Think weather forcasting (but way more accurate). It's predicting what load will be throughout the day, week, year, next year+.
This is done so power plants can be made ready to operate when they're needed.

What is a short load system?
Electrical load forecasting. "A good electrical load forecast has a direct and significant impact on costly generating unit startups and shutdowns, energy purchases, managing system demand as well as scheduling system upgrades based on predicted load growth."
Why unity power factor is used in load test?
When power factor is at unity, the voltage and current waves are aligned or in phase with one another. Since power is the product of voltage and current, power transfer is maximized at unity power factor. When power is transmitted at a lower power factor, greater current is required to deliver the same amount of power. When current is increased, the size of the transmission, distribution and generation systems, all have to be increased accordingly, along with the price of the killowatt-hour at the meter.
What is the role of power transformers in power systems?
Power transformers are used in electricity transmission and primary-distribution systems. They are used to increase (step up) the voltage supplied by generators at power stations to the extremely-high voltages necessary for electricity transmission and, at bulk power centres, to incrementally reduce (step down) those voltages to lower levels.Transmission is only possible at high voltages because, for a given load, the higher the voltage the lower the resulting load current. Reduction in load current results in manageable voltage drops along the line, conductors of practical size/weight, and minimises the line losses.
What is UPS system for house?
Uninterruptible Power Supply) A device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails. House UPS systems work when power fails and backup systems take the load and supply power for limited devices e.g. few fans or lights. UPS systems for house can normally support the limited devices for approx 1-2 hours, while larger systems have enough battery power for several hours. Some of the better systems can work for computers so there is no restart of computers. These systems are mostly used in Third world countries where they tend to loose power multiple times a day. Lahoreups is a excellent provider for home or commercial UPS systems in Lahore.
Why reactive power is named as reactive?
Actually reactive power is a power which flows in between load to source which is a reactive action of the power given from source to load.the given power to load will not be utilised fully.some power will be oscillating from load to source.this is called reactive power.
What is load forecasting?
Load forecasting is used by power companies to anticipate the amount of power needed to supply the demand.
What is the other name of plant factor in load forecasting?

What causes low power factor?
Reactive power flow results in a lower power factor. In transmission systems, this can be due to unequal source voltages. In load networks, this is usually due to motor load.
What is the condition for maximum transfer theorem?
For maximum power transfer the load resistance should be equal to the source resistance.An often misunderstood theorem. It applies strictly where one wishes maximum power transfer.It was misused for example in early power systems by trying to match the generator resistance to the load resistance.And it has little application in audio systems, where Power is much less important than Distortion. [for least distortion, the output impedance of the amplifier should be less than 10% of the impedance of the load.]
How do you convert power load to VA?
Divide Power Load by "Power Factor"

Why the power factor improves with the load?
Power factor doesn't necessarily 'improve with the load', but it is determined by the load.
