1. Introduction
There has been a rapid increase in demand for electricity in the
last few years in Taiwan due to prosperous economic
development. However, as demand for environmental
protection is becoming stricker and land acquisition becomes
more difficult, it is also harder to build new power plants to
meet the rising demand. Therefore, it has been an important
issue for Taipower to investigate the customer load
characteristics to find more effective load management
alternatives to reduce the system peak demand[ 11.
Furthermore ,with the deregulation of domestic power industry,
more and more independent power producers will join the
power market. To face the challenge, it is necessary for
Taipower to develop better marketing strategies based on the
customer power consumption patterns to promote electricity
business.
The power consumption profiles of various customer
types can be integrated to find the system peak loading. With
the prediction of load growth rate for each customer type, more
accurate load forecast can be obtained and better system
expansion planning can be made to achieve good service quality.
With the usage of more and more air conditioners, the system
peak loading during summer season is increased so significantly
that the system spinning reserve capacity is much less than that
required for system operation criterion. Incentive and time of
use (TQU) rate have to be considered to provide sufficient rate
of return for the energy storage investment of customers. Most
of all, the power generation, transinission and distribution cost
should be identified based on the actual capacity cost and
energy cost during different time periods. The rate tariff
structure can therefore be designed according to the
contribution of power consumption of different customer
classes to the whole system load profile. By this method, the
system marginal capacity cost and energy cost can be properly
allocated among all customers for the TOU rate structure.
Based on the above discussion, the typical load profiles of
customer classes derived by the load survey system do provide
very precious information to support multiple functions of
electric utilities for system planning and operation[2,3,4]. In
this paperi an effective process Of load survey system is
described and derivation of customer typical load Patterns i s
performed To demonstrate the application of load survey

customers within this customer class are retrieved from the CIS
data base. The actual power consumption of each customer
class is then solved. Fig. 2 shows the power consumption
profile of high voltage industrial customer class during summer
season served by Taipower Kaohsiung district office. The
power consumption profile of this customer class is varied
significantly with the production process. To achieve better
quality of load survey system, the typical load pattern has to be
further developed for each customer category respectively.
From this figure, there are two peak loading occurred which is
consistent to the Taipower system profile, which implies the
potential for load management to reduce the summer peak for
this customer class. The base load is larger than half of the peak
loading and it is mainly constituted by the three shift or

Fig. 4 shows the typical load pattern of EHV customers
during summer season. Most of the customers are steel
manufacturers, chemical industries, oil refineries, machine
manufacturers and fabric textile producers, which are capital
intensive with continuous production process. Because very
large power is consumed and electricity cost often contributes
significant percentage of total production cost, effective load
management strategies have been implemented by this customer
class. According to the Taipower TOU tariff ,the per unit
electricity charge during nighttime period is only one fifth of
the daytime peak period, arc furnace is operated only during the
nighttime period of summer season to reduce the peak loading
for steel manufacturers. For the chemical related industries, the
daily power demand remains constant because of the continuous
production process. Therefore, the power consumption profile
of this customer class is rather constant with little more power
consumed during the off peak period.
the low system load level, while they contribute 55% of total
system loading during the daytime system peak. The residential
customers contribute the second largest portion of the total
system demand and they consume 11% to 15% of system load
during different time period.

To verify the accuracy of the typical load patterns derived,
the derived system power profile is compared with the actual
system load profile during summer season as shown Fig.6. The
supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) of
Taipower Distribution Dispatch Control System (DDCS)
collected the power consumption data of substations within the
service area. The distribution system loss is taken into account
for the adjustment of the power profile solved.
By Fig.6 , it is found that the hourly power consumption
pattern derived by the proposed methodology is very consistent
to the actual system power consumption. The difference of
system peak loading level is very small and the time period
when peak loading occurs is the same. The derived total power
consumption before 7AM is larger than the actual power
consumption. The mismatch of power consumption during the
peak periods is only 6.7%, which implies that the system power
profile can be aggregated by integrating the power
consumptions o f all customer classes with good confidential
accuracy.

Based on the estimated power consumption profiles of all
customer classes and the corresponding percentage contribution
of total system load by each customer class, the utility rate tariff
can be designed in a more fair manner by apportion the power
system cost among customer classes.
The customer electricity service charges have to be
determined according to the actual generation, transmission and
distribution system cost to deliver the electricity to the
