| Description: | Load at a node |
Load Load is used to specify the real power (MW) rating of the load. Loads can be defined separately at a node. In other words, loads belonging to different companies can be assigned to the same node. For example, Load_1 served by Company_1, Load_2 and Load_3 served by Company_2 can each be assigned individually to Node_1.
The following example shows how to input the MW load data at a node using Load.
| Load | Property | Value | Datafile | Units | Band | Date From | Date To | Timeslice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Load_1 | Load | 50 | MW | 1 | ||||
| Load_2 | Load | 80 | MW | 1 | ||||
| Load_3 | Load | 30 | MW | 1 |
The user can directly enter the load values as shown above or specify the loads using the Load Participation Factor property. Note: When Load is used to set Loads the propertyIs Scalable must be set as No for the Load to be enabled.
The total load at a node is the sum of all individual loads connected to the node.
Node Load = ∑ Load(Node)
