How Settlement Load Profiles Are Developed

Settlement load profiles are generated each day and provide estimates of the previous day's hourly usage.  Settlement load profiles are developed through the use of defined and publicly disclosed algorithms.  A separate algorithm is developed for each season and for each of the non-residential classes that do not require interval metering and the residential customer classes.  Independent variables within the algorithms include factors such as weather conditions and day-of-the-week.  These variables can be forecasted by a RES and are objectively determinable after the fact. 

The profile developed for the classes with a peak demand of 400 kilowatts or less represents the average per customer electricity usage for each hour of the previous day.  The profile developed for the unmetered classes are provided on a one-watt basis.
