Load profile - Import and adjust measured data

Page Consumption > Import load Profile > Import  own load profile

Here you can import your own load profile, select already imported load profiles and adjust the project.

The database already contains some relevant load profiles.

-> Import the load profiles as follows:

  1. Go to page Consumption

  2. At Import load Profile click on Select

  3. Click on the Import new load profile button to the top left. An input window opens.

  4. Give the load profile a name.

  5. If necessary, note the application areas for the load profile.

  6. Select a time interval in minutes.*)

  7. Select the number of days 365 days or 366 days for leap years.
    The number of values that the program with then expect in the file will be displayed for you to check.

  8. Select theunit  Kilowatts or Watts.

  9. Select the number format:
    - ####.## with a point,
    - ####,## with a comma or
    - #.####,## with thousand separators.

  10. Select the file.

  3. Save and close the dialog with OK.

*) Effect of electrical appliances on the simulation:

If the time interval of a consumer's operating time is specified in minutes, then all consumer-dependent components (battery system control, feed-in regulation, grid, etc.) are simulated in minute resolution. Anything that does not depend on this (e.g. dependence on climate) is simulated with a resolution of 1 h.
