Load duration curve represents re-arrangement of all load elements of chronological load curve in the order of descending magnitude. It illustrates the relationship between generating capacity requirements and capacity utilization.The area under the load duration curve and the corresponding chronological load curve is equal and represents total energy delivered by the generation station.

A chronological load curve shows the variation in energy consumption over a specific time period, typically on a daily or monthly basis. A load duration curve, on the other hand, ranks energy consumption levels in descending order of magnitude over a period of time, typically showing the percentage of time that a given load level is exceeded.
The reaction described by curve B is occurring with a catalyst.
The difference between curve A and curve B on an energy diagram is most likely due to the activation energy required for the reaction. Curve A likely represents a reaction with a higher activation energy, resulting in a slower reaction rate compared to curve B, which represents a reaction with a lower activation energy and a faster reaction rate.
A load duration curve in a power plant is a graphical representation showing the relationship between the amount of power generated and the duration for which that power level is sustained. It helps to analyze the load profile of a power plant over a specific period, typically on a daily or yearly basis. This curve is useful for optimizing the operation of the power plant to meet the varying demand for electricity.
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.
Convex shapes curve outward, like a dome, while concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
