Default Value: 1
Validation Rule: Any Value
Key Property: No
Description: Scale factor for input [Load]
Detail:

Zone Load Scalar is a scale factor for load input that is defined either with Zone Load or Region Load.

Example:

Property Value Band Date From Date To Timeslice Date File
Load 0 1 Zone Load.csv
Load Scalar 1.0 1 1/01/2010
Load Scalar 1.03 1 1/01/2011
Load Scalar 1.06 1 1/01/2012
Load Scalar 1.09 1 1/01/2013
Load Scalar 1.13 1 1/01/2014
Load Scalar 1.16 1 1/01/2015
Load Scalar 1.19 1 1/01/2016
Load Scalar 1.23 1 1/01/2017
Load Scalar 1.27 1 1/01/2018
Load Scalar 1.30 1 1/01/2019

In this example a load profile is read from a external text file. The values in the file are scaled by the specified factors, which here represent a 3% p.a. escalation of load over time.
