Each column in the template represents one customer type. Each customer type is representative of a single customer in that type with an associated load profile for every hour in the year.
Note: When entering the Customer Category and Tier fields, make sure you do not have any spaces before or after the specified options.
- Add the name for each customer type in a new column (in row 1) to the right of Customer Type.
- Enter the Customer Category (in row 2) of the Customer Type you specified in Row 1. Enter one of these options: Residential, Commercial, Public, Productive, Anchor, Internal_Load
- Enter Tier, or relative consumption (in row 3). Please enter one of these options: TIER_1, TIER_2, TIER_3, TIER_4, TIER_5, TIER_6, TIER_7, TIER_8, TIER_9, TIER_10
- Next to Count (in row 4) add the number of customers in each customer type
- Add the 8760 hourly load power (in kW) used by a single customer in the customer type starting with the Hour 0 load in Row 5. This will be multiplied by the Count to calculate the total load for all of the customers in that customer type.
Note: If you leave a cell blank it is uploaded as 0 kW in that hour.
