 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

In the last decade both electrical utilities and customers have experienced increasing
costs for electric power and energy due to escalating costs of burning fuels and
capital costs for building new generation capacity. Load management which changes
the shape of the load curve so that the generation by costly peaking units or capacity
additions are avoided, is an effective solution to the above problem.
---------------------
-------------------------an important option for utilities to manage their peak deficit.

1.1 ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Electrical energy today constitutes about 30% of the total annual energy consumption
on a worldwide basis [1]. This figure is expected to rise as oil supply for industrial
uses
