Demand Profiles
The demand_profile parameter defines the electrical load pattern used in system simulations. Each profile is normalized to 1 MWh/year and scaled by the yearly_energy_consumption parameter.
Available Profiles
Household
| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
h0 | Standard household load |
h0_dyn | Household with seasonal variation (default) |
Commercial
| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
g0 | General trade/business (weighted average of g1–g6) |
g1 | Office hours, 8 AM – 6 PM weekdays |
g2 | Heavy evening consumption |
g3 | Continuous operation (cold stores, pumps, sewage) |
g4 | Daytime shops and services |
g5 | Bakeries, early morning to afternoon |
g6 | Weekend operation (cinemas, etc.) |
g7 | Continuous load (e.g. mobile phone towers) |
Agricultural
| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
l0 | General farm (weighted average of l1, l2) |
l1 | Dairy farm |
l2 | Other farm types |
Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is configured separately with air_cool_config — a 12-digit binary string where each digit represents a 2-hour block. 1 = AC on, 0 = AC off.
Code
This activates AC from 6–10 AM and 4–8 PM.
The AC load ramps from 50% of air_cool_peak_power at the temperature threshold to 100% when the mean daily temperature reaches threshold + 8K.
Related parameters:
air_cool_temperature_threshold— activation temperature (default: 21°C)air_cool_peak_power— peak consumption in kW (default: 1.0)
Heat Pump
Heat pump load is controlled by yearly_heat_pump_consumption (in MWh/year). The load profile is temperature-dependent and based on the site's weather data — no manual schedule needed.
