Effektbehov
Effektbehov is a term used in electrical engineering and energy planning to describe the amount of electrical power that is required by a facility, process, or system at a given moment. It is usually expressed as peak or maximum instantaneous power, commonly in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW). Effektbehov is distinct from energy consumption, which measures the total amount of energy used over a period (kWh).
The concept is central to the design and operation of electrical installations. It informs the sizing of
Calculation and estimation of effektbehov typically involve several components. The connected load sums the rated power
In practice, effektbehov is monitored with meters and used in planning and billing, including demand charges
