Skip load estimate scaling in PySAM was created by Justin Hohner

I'm trying to get load estimates from PySAM without scaling based on monthly utility bills. There appears to be an option to adjust the load profile, or not to adjust it, in SAM. I'm not able to find any references to skipping the scaling for PySAM. Is this possible?

Hi Justin,

The load data is an input to the Utilityrate5 module:

nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/main/modules/Utilityrate5.html#PySAM.Utilityrate5.Utilityrate5.Load.load

SAM's user interface has options for scaling the load data before it is passed to the utilityrate5 SSC module, but those options are not available in PySAM unless you code them yourself.

Best regards,
Paul.
