Room rates are calculated by the potential demand and value of the room. Rates are generally higher during peak season and holidays.

If you mean the length of the required curbside to serve the demand, then you will have to first determine the peak hour traffic by mode, the average dwell time of each mode and the length of each mode. Once you get this information you will have to statistically determine the arrival rate of the traffic and hence find the highest curbside occupancy in terms of number of vehicles at any time during the peak hour. Once you get this length, you will multiply it my the length of each mode to gain the length of the required curbside.

Non-Coincident Peak (NCP) is the individual or actual peak demands of each load in an electrical system oftentimes occurring at different hours of the day. It does not necessarily fall during system peak. (This is what i understood about NCP...I gladly welcome corrections)
Peak shaving is a process from the electricity business: You shift demand from "peak times" (eg. noon) to times with lower demand (e.g. night) and thus "shave" the peak. You can do that e.g. with devices that do not need to run immediately like washing machines etc...
peak is when the demand of electric power is very high, and off peak is when the demand is low
From wikipedia: Demand response is generally used to refer to mechanisms used to encourage consumers to reduce demand, thereby reducing the peak demand for electricity. Since electrical systems are generally sized to correspond to peak demand (plus margin for error and unforeseen events), lowering peak demand reduces overall plant and capital cost requirements. Depending on the configuration of generation capacity, however, demand response may also be used to increase demand (load) at times of high production and low demand. Some systems may thereby encourage energy storage to arbitrage between periods of low and high demand (or low and high prices). As the proportion of intermittent power sources such as wind power in a system grows, demand response may become increasingly important to effective management of the electric grid.
In area where water supply is poor during periods of peak demand what type of system would usually be specified for the domestic dwelling?
Commercial electrical customers are billed a demand charge as part of their electrical bill. The idea is that if the customer's peak instantaneous KW usage (demand) is high, the utility has to provide large enough generating and transmission capacity, which costs money. Controlling maximum demand lowers the electric bill, saving the customer money. The act of doing so is called peak shaving, and is usually accomplished by turning off non critical loads or providing onsite co-generation to reduce utility consumption to prevent a new peak from occuring.

better prices for off peak purchases takes some of the demand load off the peak times and spreads it out so resources are not overwhelmed.
No system, Peak demand as defined by the Utility Co`s is usually 7am-2pm. During those times everyone is at work or school in larger buildings with larger systems creating this period of peak demand, essentially staying comfortable on someone else`s dime, and the programmable thermostat in the home would be in energy setback or unoccuppied mode. Or in some areas the Utility Co does this for the Homeowner via their own Energy Setback Systems or rolling Brown Outs if that is the answer your Teacher is looking for.
A resonance peak is a specific frequency at which a system exhibits increased vibration amplitude or energy transfer. It occurs when the natural frequency of the system matches the frequency of an external force or input. Resonance peaks can lead to structural damage or inefficiencies in mechanical and electrical systems.
The peak potential difference is the maximum voltage that can be measured in an electrical system. It is typically shown on a graph as the highest point along the voltage axis. In an oscilloscope display, the peak potential difference is indicated by the highest point reached by the waveform.
