    hello__

    I am a student of electrical engineering while making a thesis about the analysis of energy demand for electricity, during the next 5 years in the province of South Sulawesi, Indonesia using LEAP. any data that I need to prepare and how the data processing method used in the simulation.

    Hi Chandra,

    A good place to start is by reviewing the Data Requirements to Get Started, http://www.energycommunity.org/documents/DataRequirements.pdf, and working carefully through the Training Manual, http://www.energycommunity.org/documents/LEAPTrainingExerciseEnglish2012.pdf.

    If you run into any issues, hopefully the forum members here, and we at SEI, can help point you in the right direction.

    Best of luck,

    Taylor

    Thank you Sir for the answer __

    in this my final project, I want to find out how much electricity customers with electrical energy consumption for the next 5 years. As for the data that I have collected including: population data, economic data (gross regional domestic product), data on the number of electricity customers and electricity consumption data, each of these data is the data last 5 years. I was expecting help on how to process the data so it can be simulated with LEAP was done to obtain the number of customers and their electrical energy consumption of electrical energy over the next 5 years?

    Hi Chandra, it sounds like you have the ingredients for a LEAP analysis. But I don't detect a specific question in your post here.

    LEAP works by allowing you to input different kinds of data in different branches of a tree. You can specify how these inputs change over time in any number of different scenarios that you want to investigate (using 'Current Accounts' as your starting point). What you're basically trying to do is a Demand Analysis, which you can read about here: http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/Demand/Demand.htm.

    I would strongly suggest looking over the training materials that I suggested in my previous post. Some of your economic and population data can be entered in the 'Key Assumptions' branch of LEAP, which current electricity consumption patterns would belong in the 'Demand' branches of the tree. You'll then want to input information about South Sulawesi's current electricity generators in the 'Transformation' branch.

    To understand what these branches are used for, you can use the Search function of LEAP's online help page: http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/LEAP.htm.

    Hope that helps,

    Taylor
