Details of demand
Billing demand may be based on real power or apparent power. Real power, expressed in kW, is the electricity used to operate equipment such as lights, a heating system or a motor. Apparent power, expressed in kVA, is the maximum quantity of electricity that Hydro-Québec must supply to its customers to ensure proper functioning of their equipment.
In this example
Minimum demand: 1 029,6 kilowatts (kW)
Minimum billing demand, i.e., 65% of the highest demand during a consumption period falling entirely within the winter period.
Real power: 1 308,0 kilowatts (kW)
The largest real power demand during the consumption period.
Apparent power: 1 356,0 kilovoltamperes (kVA)
The highest apparent power demand during the consumption period.
90% of apparent power: 1 220,4 kilowatts (kW)
90% of the largest apparent power demand (90% x 1 356,0 = 1 220,4 kW)
Power factor: 96,5 %
The power factor is the ratio of real power demand to apparent power (1 308,0 kW ÷ 1 356,0 kVA = 96,5 %).
Load factor: 64,6 %
The load factor is the ratio of actual energy consumption in kWh to the maximum power demand multiplied by the number of hours in the consumption period. In other words, it’s the ratio of the energy consumption over a given period to the number of kilowatthours that would have been consumed if maximum power had been drawn over all hours in the period (628 800 kWh ÷ (1 308,0 kW x 744 hours) = 64,6 %).
