EPRI Load Shape Library Interest Group Workshop
DNV KEMA attended workshop held May 1-2, 2012 – Dallas, TX
Purpose: 2012 Load Research Objectives & Deliverables• “Load Shape Library” Develop a framework for creating a load shape repository with secure web
access to member funders. To include aggregate primary data by sector and end-use. Source of data to be determined by user group
• Establish a “Load Data Users Group” comprising of member funders and interested utilities to advise on repository structure and data-related topics
• Deliverables: A member-accessible, preliminary load shape software in addition to a summary report detailing the status of the “Load Shape Library” at the end of the year
Whole premise and end use (populated with existing CEED first)
Interested in investigating alternatives to metering to keep costs down – NIALMs, CDA
Very interested in the RTF project – happy to be connected

Next Step – Data Collection from Stakeholders
Stakeholder interviews - Feedback from webinars was used to refine the list of questions to be used in the individual
interviews - Hone in on specifics of needs- Gather specific details to support value determination ($$)- Support other assessments:
- Updates since 2009- No-action option
- Telephone, in-person- Target: 25 PNW, 10 National

currently using? (E.g., ELCAP, DEER, developed in-house, etc.)
Current State/Updates since 2009
Are you using any load shapes that have been developed in the past three years? If so, which ones?
Current State Do you have any concerns about the end-use load shapes you currently use? If yes, what are your concerns?
Current State On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being not at all concerned and 10 being very concerned, how concerned are you that the end- use load shapes you are using are not accurate?
Current State/No-action option Do you see any issues with using the same end-use load shapes you currently have for the foreseeable future? If yes, what are those issues?
Current State On behalf of the RTF, DNV KEMA has sent out a short survey asking organizations to prioritize residential and non-residential end-uses. Have you had a chance to complete this survey?
Current State (End use priorities, data granularity, measurement needs)
[If no above, provide paper copy of short online survey to complete at this time.]
Future State Does your organization have any plans to develop new end-use load shapes in the near future, either by metering or by other methods such as conditional demand analysis?

Granularity Do you foresee your data granularity needs changing five years from now?
Accuracy Do you have specific accuracy and precision requirements for the end-use load shapes and other variables? [For example, PURPA requirements were 90% confidence estimates are within +/- 10%.]
Accuracy If yes, what are they?
Accuracy Are there any specific regulatory or other “client” requirements and/or expectations in terms of accuracy?

Proposed Interview Questions
Topic QuestionSampling Are the majority of your analyses focused particularly on one
end-use, or are they focused on interactions among end uses?
Sampling On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not at all important and 10 being very important please rank the usefulness of the following:
a. Case studies of household appliance usage
b. Statistical sample of single end-uses within selected houses
c. Statistical sample of multiple end-uses within selected houses
d. Case studies of non-residential end-use consumption
e. Statistical sample of single end-uses within selected of non-residential sites
f. Statistical sample of multiple end-uses within selected non-residential sites
Study Length Do you have specific requirements or feedback for how long an end use study should be in the field?
