Identify your 'base load' (the reading when no activity is taking place) and if it seems too high, look into it.

This is the base load of the system, the minimal consumption when it is not operating.

The power plant's electricity production is intermediate, between peaking and base load.

It is however the best option for base load compared with coal, oil and gas.

Wind and solar are erratic, but it's still good for anything except base load.

"Using the fuel cells as the base load takes out that peak, so you pay a lot lower rate," he said.

Again you kind of missing the point, wind is there to cut carbom emissions not to provide base load.

Electricity demand can also be separated as base load and peak demand.

Storage systems range from 4 hours in the most typical plants to more than 20 hours when base load is required.

This means that the free market in electricity is able to schedule just enough base load in advance.
