A Power Company Electrical Engineer gave me the following equation to convert KWhrs to KW demand:
KWhrs/Number of hours per month/Load Factor
Just for practice I've reviewed several power consumption reports for our buildings and when I plug in 40% load factor it seems rather accurate. I use it as my "default" load factor figure.
My very limited knowledge of load factor is: The percentage of load during demand.
Just for an example most residential electric meters are not of the demand type.
At times it would be nice to know the approximate, converted KW demand.
Do you think using my "default" Load Factor figure of .40 is a good idea?
