The project shall be a desktop exercise using historic SCADA, generation and discretised weather data. Where available, the project shall use 10 years of hourly data. Each primary substation will be allocated a geographic polygon which represents the service area for the substation.
This data will be used to build and evaluate models which disaggregate electrical demand into load driven by weather conditions and load driven by other customer behaviour. Analysis of the underlying trends will be undertaken.
The output from the project will then be used in network planning and the completion of regulatory reports.
