1. Select Load Condition
Select a representative load condition. The load is assumed constant during each one-hour interval, producing a staircase or square-wave load curve.
2. Calculated Electrical Parameters
Chronological Daily Load Curve
The square-wave representation shows the load remaining constant during each hourly interval. The shaded area represents the electrical energy corresponding to the daily load profile.
Load Duration Curve
The hourly load values are rearranged from maximum to minimum. Each horizontal step represents the number of hours for which that load level is maintained.
Electrical Power System Load Representation
Mathematical Model
For this simulation, each step has a duration of 1 hour. Therefore, the area under the chronological load curve directly represents daily energy.
