First time doing detailed interval analysis. Allentown client on PPL Schedule GP-Large. Their load profile looks like a roller coaster - huge spikes every 2-3 hours, then drops to almost nothing. Pattern repeats daily. What could cause this?
PPL interval data analysis - need help interpreting load curve
Never mind - figured it out. Client runs industrial batch processing equipment. Each batch cycle draws 900kW for 45 minutes, then equipment shuts down for 2.5 hours while product cures. Makes perfect sense now!
