Peak Factor

The magnitude of fluctuations in demand around the annual average demand rate can be expressed by peak factors. If for instance the peak day in the year has an average demand rate of twice the annual average, the Peak Day Factor is 2,0. If the average demand rate during the week (seven consecutive days) with highest demand is 1,5 times the annual average, the Peak Week Factor is 1,5.
