A load is a portion of the system that consumes energy. You can specify an electric load by choosing one of the three options:

Creating a synthetic load from a profile.

Importing a load from a time series file.

Download OpenEI Load Profiles.

Clicking on the Electric Load would open the following set up page

hgrid_load

Click the Remove button (yellow icon on the top right) to remove the load from the schematic and model.

REMOVE_LOAD

Primary load is the electrical load that the system must meet immediately in order to avoid unmet load. In each time step, HOMER dispatches the power-producing components of the system to serve the total primary load. Click the Electric Load button to open the Electric Load Set Up page. The details of a load in a given system are sometimes not available, so HOMER can build (simulate) a load in several ways. After HOMER creates the load, you can edit it in several ways, including modifying individual time steps.

hgrid_electric_load

After you have added a load, you can make changes on the Electric Load page. See the Load Profile section of the help.
