WECC Load Composition Model Presentation for WECC Significant Electrification Task Force August 2019
How We Construct Dynamic Load Models Temperature Profile, Season Building Models Temperature-dependent cooling and heating models Base Load shapes (Lighting, Cooking, Refrigeration, …) End-Use Load Shape “Rules of Association” Mapping between end-uses and CMLD model components, ( e.g. “Cooling” = 80% Motor A + 20% Motor B) Load Model Component Shape 24h 24h Cooling Ventilation Refirgeration …. Motor A Motor B … Power Electronic Constant Current … End-Use Electrification
