What is peak shaving?
Peak shaving is a process from the electricity business: You shift demand from "peak times" (eg. noon) to times with lower demand (e.g. night) and thus "shave" the peak. You can do that e.g. with devices that do not need to run immediately like washing machines etc...
What two rate schedules are maintained by most cities for electrical service?
Most cities maintain flat-rate and time-of-use rate schedules for electrical service. Flat-rate schedules charge a consistent rate per unit of electricity consumed, while time-of-use schedules vary the rate based on the time of day electricity is used, with higher rates during peak hours and lower rates during off-peak hours.
How much electricity is wasted per year?
No reliable estimates are available for the total amount, but it is substantial in the US and around the world. It should be noted that electrical generation is inherently "wasteful," because maintaining voltage across an entire electrical grid creates waste heat in the circuits and transformers. However, reducing unnecessary electrical consumption benefits consumers by lowering their bills, and also forestalls the need for additional capacity to be constructed to meet peak needs.
What is 'non-coincident peak demand' in an electrical system?
Non-Coincident Peak (NCP) is the individual or actual peak demands of each load in an electrical system oftentimes occurring at different hours of the day. It does not necessarily fall during system peak. (This is what i understood about NCP...I gladly welcome corrections)

What is the meaning of Peak period and Off Peak period?
Some electricity supply utility companies offer electric power at cheaper charge rates during their "off-peak" period each day, for example in "Cents per kiloWatt-hour". (The actual charge obviously depends on what your local money is.) The "peak" period is usully during normal daytime hours and the "off-peak" period is usually during the night. The start and finish times for these periods are controlled by a time clock connected to the electricity meter which has to be "dual-charge-rate" meter to record the total electricity used at the two different charging rates. As you don't say where you live, the best answer to help you is to advise you to contact your local electricity supplier to ask for the local electricity charging rates and the times of day for peak and off-peak electricity supply periods.
An advantage of off-peak electricity?
For the electricity companies the advantages are : - Transformers dont damage (Transformers are most efficient at full load) - Constant use of electricity meaning that theres no need for storing electricity (even though its near impossible to store AC) For the customer the advantages are: - Cheaper Electricity at off peak times. (the reason its cheaper is to encourage people to use off peak more so that the transformers run at maximum efficiency - hence not damaging them)

What is the off peak times for electricity in south Australia?
In South Australia, off-peak electricity times typically occur during the night and early morning, often from 10 PM to 7 AM. However, these times can vary based on the specific energy retailer and the plan you are on. It's advisable to check with your electricity provider for the exact off-peak hours applicable to your plan.

Do you have off peak electricity?
Electricity is usually off peak when less people are using it so there is less demand on the power grid. This is typically the middle of the night, and in some cases the middle of the day. As long as you don't mind using your electricity at these times then off-peak electricity is fine, but most people prefer to use electricity in the afternoon, evening, and in the morning, so it tends to be more expensive then. its not an offence to touch a dog.
How much electricity does Northern Ireland use?
A peak load of approximately 1400 MW in Winter
