Hourly Load Profiles:
Day-type/Month and 8760 Databases
In addition to annual energy use, psychographic,
firmographic information, equipment, building, operating characteristics
and other customer information, MAISY Databases include hourly electric,
natural gas and fuel oil loads for each customer record. Load data are
weather-adjusted to reflect normal hourly weather data. Users can access
and evaluate load profiles for individual customer records or for any grouping
of customers defined by location, business, heating fuel and other customer
variables in the MAISY Utility Customer Databases. The large number of customers
in state and service area databases permits users to develop information
for detailed customer types and market segments based on relevant customer
characteristics, avoiding the pitfalls of relying
on aggregate building average load shapes. Hourly loads are available
as day-type /month summaries and in full-year 8,760 formats.
Day-Type/Month Format - available for electric, natural gas and oil
energy use
8,760 Hourly Load Format - available for electric, natural gas and
oil energy use provided for any combination of the following dimensions:
-
States/Provinces, Service Areas, Specific Locations
-
Residential, Commercial, Industrial Customers
-
Customer Classes, Market Segments, Individual Customers
-
US, Canada, Australia
Customer classes, market segments and individual customers can be defined
by any of the customer variables available in the MAISY Utility Customer
Databases (see residential,
commercial, industrial database
variables).

Advantages of MAISY 8760 Hourly Loads Databases
MAISY 8760 Hourly Loads Databases more than 1 million residential, commercial
and industrial customer records developed to provide
a statistically representative sample of customers for each state and
service area in the US. Each customer record includes detailed customer
characteristics including total building hourly loads for electricity, natural
gas and oil along with end-use hourly loads for space heating, air conditioning,
ventilation, water heating, lighting, process, and other end uses. Jackson
Associates provides its clients with hourly load data to meet a variety of
needs in both regulated and competitive markets. Clients include energy
suppliers, ESCO's, equipment manufacturers and other energy-industry
organizations.
The unique strength of the MAISY Hourly Loads Databases lies in the large
number of scientifically-selected customer records which provide information
reflecting all customers rather than information for segment averages or
"typical" customers. For example, a utility might want to assess its
current general service (commercial and small industrial) rate structure
with respect to customer equity within the rate structure and the extent
to which customer diversity creates incentives for distributed generation
applications. Load research samples used by utilities are not typically large
enough to reliably support this quantitative analysis nor do they include
end use electric loads or thermal loads (space heating, water heating, air
conditioning) required to conduct distributed generation potential analysis.
MAISY 8760 hourly loads advantages include the ability to provide:
-
Hourly loads for electricity, natural gas, oil and steam
-
Hourly loads for individual customers based on detailed building, operating
and equipment characteristics
-
Hourly loads for customer segments based on detailed building, operating
and equipment characteristics
-
Hourly loads for any geographic location
-
8760 whole building hourly loads for each customer record
-
8760 end use (space heating, air conditioning, water heating, etc.) hourly
loads for each customer record
-
Hourly loads for typical and extreme weather patterns based on historical
data for each location
-
Additional information on building structure, equipment and operating
characteristics for each customer record
-
Information which can be merged with existing customer, load research and
marketing data
MAISY 8760 hourly loads save time and money by providing immediate
information resources at a fraction of the cost required to conduct building
and/or end-use metering.
Example client applications

MAISY Day Type/Month Hourly Loads Databases are accessible through patented
MAISY software. Hourly load data can be exported into csv files as well.
MAISY 8,760 hourly loads are extracted from the full database with a special
software product that organizes summary and individual load data into files
designed for importing into Excel Workbooks and other analysis software.
