Load Research Sample Design
Knowledge and understanding of energy consumption patterns are essential to a broad swath of mission-critical utility objectives. Most load research studies require statistical sampling, whether to minimize the cost of deploying interval meters or to efficiently manage the use of large AMI meter databases. Done incorrectly, this sampling can introduce error into a critical business resource. CA Energy Consulting’s statisticians and economists have decades of expertise and refined intuition into all phases of load research studies, ensuring results that are trustworthy and actionable.
Our services are tailored to our clients’ projects, from statistical sample design to implementation of load research data in cost-of-service studies. Typical projects include:
- Analyzing past sampling studies for potential methodological improvements
- Developing customer population data (sample frames) using billing records
- Designing stratified samples using best-practice statistical methodologies
- Developing sample data for the production of load estimates, adjusting for losses
- Consulting on practices for maintaining load research samples
- Transparently documenting analyses for regulatory proceedings.
