charges diffuses


Explanation:
"smart grid vendee - Ademe
http://www.ademe.fr/sites/default/files/.../87287_smart_grid...
En matière d’électricité, l’équilibre national entre offre et demande est d’ores et déjà
impacté par des moyens de production décentralisés et des outils de modulation de
charges diffuses raccordés au réseau de distribution public. Leur utilisation active et
coordonnée devient en conséquence un besoin croissant pour gérer cet équilibre."

  -> No! "emises" is wrong in this context.
agree  Daryo: "scattered" in space (geographically) makes far more sense than "scattered" in time (another possible interpretation)
