Hello, how can I enter different peak demand data to create peak load shape for different thermal power plants?

You can specify the system load shape under the high-level Load Shapes branch. It generally does not make sense to specify different load shapes for each power plant, but rather you would specify it for an entire grid, with multiple connected power plants. See this page for more info.
You can specify a load shape directly (the easiest way to do that is to create a load shape in the Yearly Shapes library and then link to that for the System Load Shape variable by using the YearlyShape function . Alternatively, you can have the system load shape calculated internally by specifying the shapes for each individual electricity demand in your demand analysis. You do that by specifying the function ShapeFromDemand for the system load shape.
