Option 2 : Gas
Explanation:
The load is the amount of power in the electrical grid.
Base Load: Base Load is the level that typically does not go below, i.e. the basic amount of electricity that is always required. Baseload is typically provided by large coal-fired and nuclear power stations. They may take days to fire up and their output does not vary.
Examples of baseload power plants:
- Nuclear powerplant
- Coal powerplant (Thermal)
- Hydroelctric powerplant
- Storage type plants
- Geothermal plants
- Biogas plants
- Biomass plants
- Solar thermal with storage
- Ocean thermal
Peak Load:
- Peak Load is the daily fluctuation of electricity use.
- It is usually lowest in the morning and highest in the early evening.
- It also varies seasonally.
- Peak load, the variable part of electric supply and demand, is provided by more responsive and smaller plants whose output can be quickly ramped and down or that can be quickly turned on and off.
Examples of peak load power plants:
- Gas plant
- Solar power plants
- Wind turbines
- Diesel generators
- Storage type hydropower plants
- Pumped storage hydropower plants
