PV solar - Typical load data 15 minutes interval - Office commercial environment

Where can I download or access commercial load data in 15 minutes interval from typical office environmental sites in USA ?

To be used in the SAM model as the typical back ground data and then use the monthly bills from the specific client to simulate the load profile ?


Thanks


Paul

Dear Paul,

I am not aware of a source of 15-minute load data.

The NREL OpenEI website hosts a database of typical hourly load data for residential and commercial buildings . This data was generated by a computer model, and is matched to the NSRDB TMY3 weather files, which makes them well suited for use with SAM. SAM 2013.9.20 (scheduled for release tomorrow) includes a sample file with a SamUL script that you can use to download the load data directly into SAM.

Best regards,
Paul.
