Overview of the sheet
The “LDC” sheet contains the current Load Duration Curve(s) in L16-AC39 and allows the shape of the curve to be changed for each Scenario and from year-to-year. The curves for scenario 1 and 2 are entered in BF16-BW39 and CZ16-DQ39.
A load duration curve illustrates how much of the peak power the consumers will use and over what time period. Normally there is a different load pattern during summer and winter and the program takes the percentages summed over the whole year. The power companies use this information to predict and plan how much power should be available in different time periods.
