An interconnected electric grid allows utilities to level the load curve, maximising the generation resources of the entire power pool.
A measured load curve is available.
These dependencies are broken down to a load curve.

The load curve of the microgrid refers to [28].
However, the solar generation varies along the load curve.
When superimposed on the load curve, it transforms the load curve into a 'load belt', i.e. a range.
The curves with crosses denote Original load curve; while the ones with triangles denote load curve after removing.
As a result, the average (typical) base load curve is approximately treated as the actual base load curve in this paper.
In comparison to the load curve of the first case study, which had three daily spikes, the load curve of Titumate has only one evening peak.
A single load curve is considered and loads at all buses are scaled proportionally to follow the shape of the given load curve.
