Load ranges of power plants
 scroll 
The mains load resulting from the power requirements
of the consumers must be covered by power plant operation adjusted in
terms of time. Base load, intermediate load and peak load are distinguished
in this context. The power plants are used in these ranges according
to their operational and economic properties. Hydro-electric, lignite-fired
and nuclear power plants run base load, coal-fired and gas-fired power
plants run intermediate load, and storage and pumped storage power plants
as well as gas turbine facilities cover peak loads. Optimum operation
is ensured under today's and future circumstances if the ratio of the
power plant output in the base load on the one hand and in the intermediate
and peak load on the other hand is 1:1.
