Creating a synthetic load from a profile is a quick way to generate a load that can be relatively realistic. On the Electric, Thermal, or Hydrogen Set Up page, select an option for Peak Month. If you want the load to have a cyclic annual variation, choose January or July as the peak month. Choosing None yields an annual profile that is uniform except for random variation.
Peak Month: January |
Peak Month: July |
Peak Month: None |
Choose a Profile from the drop-down menu: Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Community, and Blank. Blank is an empty template.
Residential |
Commercial |
Industrial |
Community |
These load templates have different default overall magnitudes: 11.35, 2,620, 24,000, and 170 kWh/day, respectively. You can easily scale the average load of any of them to fit your application by changing the value for "Scaled Annual Average (kWh/day)".
