I am working on performing load flow analysis using CYME software, and I want to utilize smart meter data to generate accurate load profiles for each customer or load point. I have exported the smart meter data (e.g., hourly or sub-hourly consumption) into Excel files. Could you guide me through the process of how to:
- Properly format and organize this smart meter data in Excel for import into CYME?
- Link or associate each load profile from the Excel data with the corresponding loads or nodes in my CYME network model?
- Apply these profiles to run a load flow analysis using CYME’s time-varying or profile-based simulation capabilities?
- Visualize or extract the results from CYME after applying these smart meter-based profiles?
Any best practices, templates, or tools that facilitate this workflow would also be appreciated.
