What is the LoadProfileGenerator?
What can it do?

• The LPG is a modeling tool for residential energy consumption
• It performs a full behavior simulation of the people in a household and uses that to generate load curves.
• It has various German households predefined.
• It generates CSV files for the import into other simulation software.
• Additionally, it generates a ton of different reports to help with modeling.
• The focus is the individual household. It is possible to evaluate larger populations, but this will require significant work.

What is the LoadProfileGenerator NOT?

• The LPG does not provide any load curves for commercial buildings yet.
• The LPG does not provide any load curves for offices yet.
• It is not well suited for simulating populations above about a 1000 people.

Starting from 2020 development is funded by the IEK-3 at the Forschungszentrum Jülch
