Industrial machines create sharp peaks, while lighting is usually constant.
If you need to calculate this for a specific project, let me know:
The maximum demand has been determined using the as outlined in [relevant standard, e.g., AS/NZS 3000 or BS 7671 ]. This involves three primary steps:
Once you calculate MD, the next step is active management. You want to lower the MD without stopping production.
Install a (digital kWh meter with demand register) or power analyzer.
Apply standard factors (based on local electrical codes) to each category.
The ratio of the sum of individual maximum demands of various subdivisions of a system to the maximum demand of the entire system.
Maximum demand (MD) is the highest average power drawn by a consumer over a specified interval. It's used for billing, equipment sizing, and load management.

Calculation: $$MD = (100 \times 1.0) + (100 \times 0.5) + (50 \times 1.0) = 200 \text kW$$
Design your transformer and main switchgear for 363 kW (or ~430 kVA at 0.85 PF).
This is the inverse of the diversity factor but preferred by some utilities.
"So? Better safe than sorry."
Install a Battery Energy Storage System programmed to discharge when the facility's load exceeds a threshold (e.g., 900 kW). The battery supplies the extra 100 kW for 15 minutes, keeping the MD at 900 kW instead of 1,000 kW.
To accurately calculate Maximum Demand, the following parameters must be defined:
