If you would like to define 20% of your load profile to be critical load and 80% of your load profile to be non-critical load, define the same load profile in both the Electric Load section and the Non-critical Load section (under Outages). Then, scale the field ‘Scaled Annual Average (kWh/day)’ in the Electric Load section to 20% of its original value, and scale the field ‘Scaled Annual Average (kWh/day)’ in the Non-critical Load section to 80% of its original value.
