Annual LDC (load duration curve) Explanation: You can just use the acronym for 'load duration curve' which is LDC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_duration_curve Of course, you can put 'annual' before it. I would go with 'annual' as apposed to 'yearly'. I have used the same strategy in a previous translation and the end client was satisfied. If you do a few searches, you will see that most native speakers of English use 'annual' in this context, whereas 'yearly' tends to be more popular with non-native speakers of English. |
