Topic: Importing Demand data from Excel to create load shapeSubscribe | Previous | Next
Nour Shihabuddin 6/15/2020
Hello,
Would it be possible to share the excel example file from the Training Manual for the optimization exercise 6 please? I cannot seem to find it, in the manual it references the below path which does not exist anymore. I have 8760 demand (MW) data, and 8760 generation (MWh) data that I would like to import to create a load shape to study the effects of demand on supply. Which one should be typically used? Also, If I want to import a new shape to show variability of renewables, would the "Availability Shape" option be the right shape to use? and would the data needed for that only be the Availability/capacity factor in % defined for each time-slice?

Please look again in your LEAP Areas\Optimization Exercise folder. It may not be below your documents or my documents folders if you chose a different location. That spreadsheet IS still installed along with other data files used by LEAP, so you should be able to find it unless it somehow got deleted. Even so, I am attaching it again here, FYI.

If you are specifying a system load shape, then I think you should use the generation data, but they should be more or less the same shape as each other.
>>Also, If I want to import a new shape to show variability of renewables, would the "Availability Shape" option be the right shape to use? and would the data needed for that only be the Availability/capacity factor in % defined for each time-slice?

Correct - you can then reference that shape in the Maximum Availavility variable for a Transformation process. For example, if the shape is named "solar availability" you can use an expression like this: YearlyShape(solar availability)
Suggest looking at the Time Slice Demo data set as this has some other examples. You can get that using menu option Area; Install: Install from the Internet..
Best,
Charlie
