Load control

Load control refers to the management of electrical demand on a power grid to ensure that supply meets consumption efficiently. It involves monitoring and adjusting the amount of electricity being used by consumers, especially during peak periods when demand is high. Utilities may implement strategies such as incentivizing consumers to reduce usage or temporarily limiting power to certain areas. This helps prevent blackouts, optimizes energy costs, and supports the integration of renewable energy sources. Ultimately, load control helps maintain a stable and reliable electricity supply for homes and businesses.
