Chinese term or phrase: 年持续负荷曲线
This is in some text discussing energy and economics. I understand the meaning but am wondering if anyone knows of a specific term for this phrase. Here is some of the original text:

电力需求分析包括全国及各地区全社会用电量、细分行业用电量、电网最大负荷、负荷特性等的分析。其中,电力负荷特性分析主要包括日负荷特性、月负荷特性、年负荷特性,夏季(冬季)最大负荷日、典型日负荷曲线,夏季(冬季)工作日(节假日)空调负荷分析,年负荷曲线、{{年持续负荷曲线}}等。

Thank you!

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.
