Abstract :
In this paper the load profiles used by different entities (distribution utilities, suppliers) on the electricity market have been analyzed. Load profiles are necessary for utilities from cost of service and rate design to load management and forecasting to settlement. Principal applications for retail suppliers include pricing, cost analysis, planning and assessment of load management, load scheduling and market settlement. Following some methods used to load profiling are presented, together with a case study done according with the Romanian procedure for load profiling.
