Load profile preparation

The load profiles used in the examples presented in RELSAD are generated based on specifications from FASIT Kravspesifikasjon (requirements specification) [1]. The load profiles are given for different load customer categories, time of day, low and high load, and if it is a weekday or weekend. The dataset used in the profiles can be seen in this file.

The load profiles are calculated as

(24)\[P_{load} = A_{i, t}T+B_{i,t}\]

here, \(A_{i,t}\) is the A parameter from the dataset for load category i at time t, \(T\) is the temperature in degrees, and \(B_{i,t}\) is the B parameter from the dataset for load category i at time t.

The temperatures are collected from weather data at Rygge in Norway and can be seen this file.

The dataset has an hourly resolution.
