Maximum Demand (MD) is the highest level of electrical power consumed by a facility within a specific time interval during a billing period. Accurate calculation of MD is essential for sizing electrical infrastructure (transformers, switchgear, cables) and for minimizing utility costs, as many commercial and industrial rates are based on peak demand charges. This report outlines the definitions, calculation methodologies, and strategies for managing maximum demand. Maximum Demand (MD) is the highest level of

Calculation: $$MD = (100 \times 1.0) + (100 \times 0.5) + (50 \times 1.0) = 200 \text kW$$
