Monthly Electric Peak Day Load Profiles
MODULE TEXT
This report only displays graphs if you have selected Hourly Enduse Profile on Screen 1 of the SD
Wizard. If you have not selected this, eQUEST will display a warning and the graphs will be
empty.
If you would like to access this report, turn to page 43 to learn how to return to the Main eQUEST
Window and re-enter the SD Wizard.
This two-page report shows the peak electric loads for the peak day in every month of the
year. To access the second page of this report, select the Next Page icon on the Floating
Reports Toolbar (2). This will bring up the July through December report. To return to the first
page, click Previous Page. You can also use this toolbar to resize the report in the window view
or print the report.
These graphs show the peak electric demands during the course of 24 hours in the peak during
the month. They help identify where potential peak demands can occur on a more specific
level as opposed to looking at a general monthly or annual picture. For instance, the May
graph shows that afternoons may be hotter and require more space cooling (dark blue) which
will increase the peak electric demand. Knowing these specifics allow you to isolate problems
early in the design so that they can be addressed. For example, a large hotel may want to
only run laundry equipment in the middle of the night when the peak loads are much lower.
