(2011a) explored the effects of relative load between 10 — 80 % of 1RM and found that power outputs increased to a peak at 30 % of 1RM for straight bar deadlifts and to a peak at 40 % of 1RM hexagonal bar deadlifts, before reducing to a minimum at 80 % of 1RM.

Since they were presumably going to operate as base load as opposed to peaker power, it's likely they were intending to sign long term contracts so that their incremental addition to the demand for coal would be absorbed not by creating an additional demand on the spot market but by identifying a fixed source with a standing order and putting a few American miners to work on a full - time basis.

Wind, for example, you will find discussed in terms of energy needed, costs, energy produced, whether it can serve as peak load, base load, mini-generators, Liebig's Minimum, locations... etc..

(note there is some energy demand management that is is / has been already used to reduce the need for peak power supply; I don't know offhand how much there is and what it would look like if this were simply reshifted to reduce the need for backup power supply, which would be like peaking and load - following plants now.

As battery cars and plug - hybrids become more common the storage capacity and load - shifting (for charging) of the transportation fleet becomes very favorable in terms of load management — ditto the potential to use the fleet of parked batteries to assist during peak loads.

Peak loads correlate very well with solar availability (for obvious reasons) but locally the peak lasts later than the sun dPeak loads correlate very well with solar availability (for obvious reasons) but locally the peak lasts later than the sun dpeak lasts later than the sun does.

In June I heard a report about a new EU - wide study done in the UK that showed clearly that by combining all forms of renewables: wind all over Europe, solar in North Africa, hydo, hydro storage, solar thermal, and demand management, you could meet a slowly growing EU load with almost no natural gas for peaking plants to help level the load.

That accounts for a couple percentage points of the city's 180 - megawatt peak load.

As long as solar is a relatively small part of the mix, it actually helps level the load curve, because demand is so much higher during the day than at night, and particularly if you have a lot of nuclear in the mix, solar will reduce the need for peaking generation.

This is particularly relevant for power systems where the peak load is expected to increase at the same time as conventional power plants to be replaced by intermittent renewable power generation.
