A non-critical electric load will not be served during an outage, which can be defined on the resilience page. Clicking on Non-critical will bring up the following setup page.

 

Electric Load Setup

 

Specify a non-critical electric load by choosing one of the three options:

 

Importing a load from a time series file

Download OpenEI Load Profiles

Creating a synthetic load from a profile

 

Click the red X next to the title to remove the load from the schematic and model.

Electric Load Remove button

 

 

Tip: If you would like to define 20% of your load profile to be critical load and 80% and your load profile to be non-critical load, define the same load profile in both the Electric Load section and the Non-critical Load section. Then, scale the field ‘Scaled Annual Average (kWh/day)’ in the Electric Load section to 20% of its original value, and scale the field ‘Scaled Annual Average (kWh/day’ in the Non-critical Load section to 80% of its original value.
