User's needs: daily profile definition

When entering this daily profile definition tool, please first choose the working units.

At the first entry all values are null. You can use the operator facility to modify all hourly values at a time:

First choose the operator, which can be:

• Fix identical values for each month,
• Add a given value to each month,
• Multiply all values by a given value,
• Renormalise all values to obtain a given yearly sum or average.

Then define the Operator value, and click "Work out".

You can also drag each hourly value on the graph, or define a given value by editor.

If you are in "Seasonal Modulation" mode, you have to define a profile for each season. You have a facility to copy an already defined profile to one or several other seasons. For this purpose click on "Copy", choose the source profile and select the target seasons.

The same holds for the "Weekly modulation" mode.

In the "Monthly normalisations" mode, be aware that the daily sum has to match the pre-defined value for the considered month (as defined in the preceding dialog). So that when changing a single value, all other values are automatically modified accordingly. In this mode the best suited working unit may be % of daily load.
