The sum of individual maximum loads is 11.2 kW

The total connected load is 17.48 kW
The total units consumed during the day is 34.96 kWh
The Average load during the day is 1.45667 kW
The Peak load in a day occurs during the interval 11 is 4.48 kW

The Load factror for the day is 32.5149

The Demand factror for the day is 0.256293
The Diversity factror for the day is 2.5

The cost of energy for the day is INR : 104.88

RESULT:
The average load, number of units generated per day, load factor, demand factor and
diversity factor is determined from the load curve using MATLAB and verified theoretically.
