Customized loads
Product: HOMER Grid 1.1.1
Can we create customized loads?
Yes, there are several ways to customize a load. The best option is to Import your meter's interval data. If you don't have meter data, there is the option to build up and customize a synthetic load (ex: 'Blank' synthetic load) OR there is the option to use one of the loads from OpenEI.
For example, EV Charging loads?
There isn't an EV profile among the OpenEI profiles, however, so the blank synthetic load might be your best option.
