Metering
Load curve
A representation of the power drawn by a supply point over time, in Belgium at quarter-hourly resolution. It is the curve, not the annual volume, that decides what a participant can actually absorb in a sharing operation: two profiles consuming the same amount over the year but not at the same hours are worth entirely different things to the group.
Also known as: load profile, consumption curve
