Terheléscsökkentéssel

Terheléscsökkentéssel is a Hungarian term that translates to "load reduction" or "load shedding" in English. It refers to a deliberate and controlled action to reduce the demand on an electrical power system. This is typically undertaken by a power system operator when the demand for electricity exceeds the available supply, or when there is a risk of system instability.

The primary goal of terheléscsökkentéssel is to prevent widespread and uncontrolled blackouts. By selectively disconnecting certain loads, the operator can bring the system back into balance and maintain the stability of the remaining parts of the network. This can involve interrupting power to industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and in some cases, residential areas.

The implementation of terheléscsökkentéssel is usually based on pre-defined plans and priorities. Certain essential services, such as hospitals, emergency services, and critical infrastructure, are typically excluded from these load shedding measures. The duration and extent of the interruptions are usually kept to a minimum, with the aim of restoring full power as soon as possible.

Terheléscsökkentéssel can be triggered by various factors, including sudden drops in electricity generation, unexpected increases in demand (e.g., during extreme weather conditions), or technical failures within the power grid. It is a crucial tool for maintaining the reliability and security of electricity supply in situations where the system is under stress.
