Discussion

A programme that reduces diversity among consumers is undesirable because it

  • A.reduces the total energy the utility sells
  • B.raises the load factor of the system
  • C.increases the losses arising in the distribution network
  • D.makes their peaks coincide and raises the system peak

Answer: D

A tariff that switches every water heater on at the same off-peak hour creates a new peak of its own, which is a well documented failure of crude time-of-day design. Staggering or randomising the switching preserves the diversity.
