This means that the hourly demand is 1.5 times the average demand. This factor is used to account for the fact that demand is not constant throughout the day. There are times when demand is higher, such as during peak hours, and times when demand is lower, such as during off-peak hours. By using an hourly variation factor, utilities can ensure that they have enough capacity to meet demand even during peak hours.<\/p>\n<p>Option A: 1.5 is the most common value used for the hourly variation factor.
