    Dear Sir

    I am working on the optimization on carbon neutrality for Cambodia until 2050.
    In this case, my professor wants me to put the future load shapes for Cambodia.
    I have been finding a way to put the future load shapes for 2022-2050, however, it is not possible to put in LEAP.
    Could you please give a suggestion how to enter future load shapes?

    Regards
    Zu

    Hi May - this is possible. If you have exogenous system load shapes for different future years, you can make use of the InterpYearlyShape or YearlyShape functions to load those into your LEAP model. You would use those functions when specifying load shapes for each fuel under the high level Load Shapes branch.

    If you want to get even more sophisticated, system load shapes can be calculated internally by specifying the demand load shapes of each individual demand device. To use this method, enter ShapeFromDemand for the System Load Shape variable.

    As a reminder, you can make use of different seasonal, time of day and type of day time-slicing arrangements to specify how a year is divided up into different time slices. These time slices are then used when specifying load shapes. Note also that in addition to specifying time-sliced system load shapes, you can also specify time-sliced maximum availability shapes for each generating technology.

    Thank you, Sir.
    I will try first as that you said.
    Could you please also suggest for the optimization problem That I asked last week?
