The main objective of smart power meters is to lower the peak load and thus enable utilities to keep down their peak generating capacity.

智能电表的主要目的是降低峰值负荷，从而使电厂能够降低峰值发电功率。

Peak-load pricing — Charging resource users during the peak period the higher cost of supplying resources during that period.

负载峰值定价——在峰值期间内交给使用者更高的供给资源成本。

The first peak load is lower slightly than the fracture load of adhesive bonded joints, and the second peak load is almost the same as the fracture load of the spot welded joints.

曲线上第一载荷峰值略低于单纯胶接接头的断裂载荷，第二载荷峰值与单纯电阻点焊接头的强度基本一致。

Or they may increase the efficiency of the grid by consuming off-peak load and pushing more kilowatt-hours over the same infrastructure.

Advances in fuel cell technologies are critical in supporting the integrated grid systems, with their peak-load management and mitigation capabilities, and without which integrating renewables into the energy mix will be a much more expensive and painful affair than often supposed.

"Residential air-conditioning is the peak load problem, and we're able to tackle the load-shifting in a very automated way, " says Matt Rogers, Nest's engineering VP.
