Load Diversity

Load Diversity
  The condition that exists when the peak demands of a variety of electric customers occur at different times. This is the objective of "load molding" strategies, ultimately curbing the total capacity requirements of a utility.
  ***
  The difference between the peak of coincident and noncoincident demands of two or more individual loads.
