This data availability has enabled a large scale research project to proceed with the aim to disaggregate peak hour, peak day and peak month demand in the water distribution network into primary indoor usage (e.g. shower, washing machine, etc.) and irrigation components. Such information can ...
5. the time of the day or year when traffic, use, or demand is greatest and charges, fares, etc., are highest. 6. a projecting point. 7. widow's peak. 8. the projecting front piece of a cap or hat. 9. nucleus (def. 7a). 10. a. the contracted part of a ship's hu...
Wang thinks that groundwater was jolted free by the quake. The water then trickled down into the streams and reached apeakoutpour about 30 days later.— Thomas Sumner Air-conditioning is also one of the main contributors topeakelectric power demand …— ...
Rather, the effects of dynamic pricing may be realized in the long run, with peak prices providing incentives to invest in energy efficiency to reduce costly subsistence demand, i.e., energy conservation rather than load shifting.2 Obviously, subsistence levels may vary within a day, and differ...
The aim of the present work has been to contribute to the characterisation of the peak water demand through statistical inferences on a large data sample collected from the system under consideration. Specifically, the data have been analysed for the effect of resampling the raw data with respect...
Production Capacity means the amount of potable water which can be supplied to the distribution system in a twenty-four-hour period. Unforced Capacity shall have the meaning specified in the Reliability Assurance Agreement. Design capacity means the volume of a containment feature at a discharging fa...
Residential water demand is studied with microdata and with allowance for (1) seasonal differences in price elasticity, (2) a dynamic adjustment process, (3) a marginal price specification, (4) cross-price effects between peak and off-peak demand, and (5) the inclusion of a detailed set of...

Drawing on work conducted as part of a regulator-sponsored and industry-led project, the Customer Led Network Revolution (CLNR1), we examine how peak demand and its flexibility is constituted through everyday life and draw out the implications for the future of smart grids. The paper proceeds...
