Load data analysis workstation: DOS-based load and customer data analysis system

A description is given of the load data analysis workstation (LDAW), developed for the Electric Power Research Institute to handle the increasing analysis requirements in utility load research and demand-side programs. The hardware and software of the latest, third-generation LDAWs are examined. Three applications to utility end-use load monitoring programs are presented: a load research program, a direct load control program and an energy management program. Additional capabilities are briefly sketched.<
