This paper describes the methods used to determine hourly activity load curves for use in energy models. It explains how Conditional Demand Analysis curves have been used in combination with appliance penetration levels to develop appliance hourly load curves based on and representative of measured load data. It shows how these can be combined to determine hourly activity load curves, which contribute to the accuracy of energy models used for energy policy development and energy planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
