Load Shape

See also: Results View
Result Type: Demand

This report shows the shape of the load (in power units) summed across different demand branches for the various Time Slices defined for your area.  This report is only available if you have chosen to specify an endogenously calculated System Load Shape using the ShapeFromDemand function.  Load shapes can be viewed for detailed end-uses, or for more aggregate subsectors, sectors or for demand as a whole.  Use the tree to view load shapes at different levels of aggregation.

Typically you will view this report by showing time slices on the X axis and branches on the legend of chart.  You can also use the animation feature to see how the load shape evolves from one year to the next.
