3 hrs confidence: 
baseload supply /volume Explanation: Derived from the following article about 'Bandlieferung', containing: "Deswegen sind Bandstromlieferungen oft deutlich kostengünstiger, müssen aber ggf. durch zusätzlichen Spitzenlaststrom zur Anpassung an eine schwankende Nachfrage ergänzt werden. Sie dienen also am ehesten für eine langfristige Basisversorgung für einen Teil des Bedarfs." https://www.energie-lexikon.info/bandlieferung.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-06-05 20:28:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Definition: eine Energielieferung mit konstanter Leistung über einen längeren Zeitraum Alternativer Begriff: Bandstrom Englisch: baseload delivery -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2020-06-06 00:37:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note: 'Baseload' appears in two contexts: * Min. power generated (power stations) * Min. power supplied (commercial/industrial premises) The askers question and the answer/reference provided both involve the latter context of power supply... Extra power consumed (at high tariff) minus baseload power supplied = excess energy consumption payable Where baseload costs are presumably fixed over the timeframe involved, and the excess power costs are variable... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2020-06-06 14:38:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for you note MF, I'm pretty certain it relates to commercial /industrial power supply and how the bills (or billable consumption) are arrived at... Since the baseload supply is a constant, I think I'd remove "volume" from my suggestion and just stick with "supply" or "consumption"... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2020-06-06 14:45:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also mentioned in your clarification and in the discussion area was natural gas: "Auch bei Erdgas gibt es Bandlieferungen. Diese sind z. B. für große Industriebetriebe geeignet, die einen jahreszeitlich kaum schwankenden Erdgasbedarf und womöglich sogar eigene Gasspeicher haben." |
