Application of Rural Residential Hourly Load Curves in Energy Modelling Charles Trevor Gaunt Nicola Cross 10.25375/uct.7217474.v1 https://zivahub.uct.ac.za/articles/journal_contribution/Application_of_Rural_Residential_Hourly_Load_Curves_in_Energy_Modelling/7217474 This paper describes the methods used to determine hourly activity load curves for use in energy models. It explains how Conditional Demand Analysis curves have been used in combination with appliance penetration levels to develop appliance hourly load curves based on and representative of measured load data. It shows how these can be combined to determine hourly activity load curves, which contribute to the accuracy of energy models used for energy policy development and energy planning. 2019-10-18 10:48:10 conditional demand analysis energy modelling activity load curves energy policy development energy planning energy energy research centre Energy Generation, Conversion and Storage Engineering
