Electric Load Planning Tool (ELPT) v0.9
Abstract
The Electric Load Planning Tool (ELPT) helps facilities understand the economic and environmental impacts of their electricity consumption. Using a user-provided Excel input, ELPT analyzes electricity use, costs, and grid CO2e emissions to identify savings opportunities through load management strategies such as load shifting, shedding, and planning. It accounts for Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs and hourly emissions factors, varying by location and time of day. Users input details about their facility's load profile, location, year of analysis, and electricity billing tariff to receive customized insights. The tool provides visual representations of cost and GHG impacts, helping users understand the benefits of adjusting electricity usage to align with periods of cheaper and cleaner electricity, thereby achieving cost savings and reducing Scope 2 CO2e emissions
