Load shapes - graphic depictions of energy use - can be extrapolated to predict customer need, and so assist in utility planning and forecasting. Load shape data provides power suppliers with an informed understanding of energy use at various times of a cycle (day, week, season, or year), whether it's focus is a single appliance or facility, or a large customer group. In Load Shape Development, Derek Schrock demonstrates how this tool is used in load forecasting, demand-side management planning and evaluation, and integrated resource planning. His non-technical text walks you through terminology, sample design techniques, overviews of metering and data collection and entry, plus design and analysis tools. This is an essential reference for electric and natural gas utilities, consulting firms, public utility commissions, and environmental groups, as well as federal, state, and local agencies.
