Define your own Load Profile

Menu Databases > Load Profiles

You can create load profiles yourself and modify them.

1. Go to the menu Databases > Load Profiles to open the Electricity Load Profile dialog. Here, you can open load profiles from the database, edit loaded load profiles or define your own load profiles.

2. Click on the Load button and select a load profile from the list which best meets your requirements and confirm your selection by clicking OK.

3. Enter a name for the load profile in the text field of the dialog window.

4. Choose a tab to select the day profile to be edited.
   Summer = May, June, July, August
   Winter = November, December, January, February
   Transitional seasons = March, April and September, October

5. In the selection field on the left, select one hour of the day. The corresponding percentage power consumption is edited in the input window above the selection field.

6. Repeat this procedure for all hours you wish to edit.

7. The Total of percentage values of power consumption is shown below the selection field. This Total must come to 100%. You can achieve this by either adjusting the values or clicking the Standardize button. The program now averages the values in line with your settings.

8. The percentage power consumption values of one day can be transferred to another day using the Copy and Paste buttons. The Paste button copies matching values from the clipboard, disregarding the origin, which could be an Excel file, for example.

9. The Annual Profile tab shows the load profile of the entire year; this can also be edited.

10. Click Save and then enter a name to save your personal load profile.

You can then use these load profiles for defining consumption as described above.
