Load management is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load.Electrical energy is a form of
Energy that cannot be stored. It can however be traded as a
commodity. It must be generated, shipped to the point where it is needed, and immediately consumed. Consequently, for the generation and distribution of electrical power, load management is a subject that is continually on the minds of the electrical network operators (also known as
Transmission system operators). Sometimes the load on a system can approach the maximum generating capacity. When this happens, the network operators must either find additional supplies of energy or find ways to curtail the load. If they are unsuccessful within the time allowed, the system will become unstable.
blackouts can occur.
