    I want LEAP to calculate the system load curve bottom-up based on a technology-specific load curve for each device. In what format must I provide the technology-specific load curves to LEAP? Do I need energy load shapes or peak load shapes? Or can I choose?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi there Ralf,

    For demand-side load shapes, you need energy load shapes instead of peak load shapes.

    Another way to define a load curve for a device is to explicitly define energy demand in each time slice. Have a quick look through the following help page:

    http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/Demand/Load_Shape.htm

    Good luck!
