Hi, everyone! We want to import our data (which is in MW) to the Yearly Load Shape. However, LEAP requires this to be a % of Peak Demand. How do we go about this? Thank you!

Hi Alessandra,
Do you mean the installed capacity when you said "(which is in MW) ", or the Peak demand (which is also usually provided in MW)?
For defining timeslices, you will need the later one, as the former one will be constant for a given study year.
Estimating is straightforward -
% peak = Peak load in timeslice / Maximum of the peak load
% peak = Peak load in timeslice / Maximum of the peak load
