The intention of this paper is to priorly estimate the maximum demand (MD) during the running slots. The forecasting of MD will help us to save the extra bill charged. The MD is calculated by two methods basically : graphically and mathematically. It will help us to control the total demand, and reduce the effective cost. With help of forecasting MD, we can even perform load shedding if our MD will be exceeding the contract demand (CD). Load shedding is performed as per the load requirement. After load shedding, the MD can be brought under control and hence we can avoid the extra charges which are to be paid under the conditions if our MD exceeds the CD. This scheme is being implemented in various industries. For forecasting the MD we have to consider various zones as: load flow analysis, relay safe operating area (SOA), ratings of the equipments installed, etc. The estimation of MD and load shedding (LS) can be also done through automated process such as programming in PLC's. The automated system is very much required in the industrial zones. This saves the valuable time, as well as the labor work required. The PLC and SCADA software helps a lot in automation technique. To calculate the MD the ratings of each and every equipment installed in the premises is considered. The estimation of MD and LS program will avoid the industries from paying the huge penalties for the electricity companies. This leads to the bright future scope of this concept in the rapid industrialization sector, energy sectors.
