# naerm_heat_wave_loads
This repository houses the raw data and processing scripts to create the hourly load time series by 
Balancing Authority based on the 2018 weather year loads. Data are scaled to match the 2021 annual total loads data 
shared by Jason Hou on 19-April 2023. The 2018 weather year loads are based on the Total ELectricity Loads (TELL) model.

## Input Files
The input data needed to recreate this process is stored in the [data](data/) directory.

## Output File
The output of this processing is stored in the [data](data/) directory with the filename 
"TELL_Loads_2021_Based_on_2018_Weather.csv".

## Notes
1) Loads in CISO, IPCO, NEVP, and PACE are modeled as a whole in TELL but are separated in GridView. To create the data
for these BAs I used the whole load simulated by TELL and distributed it to the subregions within the BA using the 
annual total load in each subregion to portion out the TELL loads.
2) Three BAs in GridView have zero loads for the year: TH Malin, TH Mead, and TH PV. They are not 
simulated by TELL. I left these in as zero values in the output file.
3) Three BAs in GridView are outside the United States and are not represented in TELL: AESO, BCHA, and CFE. I left in 
their original 8760-hr load profiles from the 2021 data.
