29. WRONG!!! WRONG!!! WRONG!!!

As always, Kris is in ERROR as to what "baseload" is.

It's very simple. Baseload is the fraction of your energy demand that is demanded for all 24 hours of a day.

It has a very simple mathematical definition. If you look at the plot for demand vs time of day over a 24 hour day; then the baseload is just the minimum value of that function.

Now watch the mathematically-challenged Kris come in and say that doesn't exist

Any of the mathematically cognizant out there kinows that ANY function has a minimum. It also has a maximum.

The max and min may not be unique; but they exist.

Even a function that is a constant. In that case, the maximum and minimum are the same, and the function takes on its max and min values, not a a unique point, but for the entire domain of the function.

Kris is just plain CONFUSED.

The fact that you have a non-zero demand for electricity at 2 AM in the morning has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether the distribution system is centralized or decentralized. It just has to do with the fact that there is a non-zero demand for electricity at 2 AM in the morning!!

GEESH!!
