Abstract (EN): Classifying consumers, namely LV consumers, in order to assign them typical load diagrams, was always a concern of the electric utilities, which used this kind of information to better manage their distribution networks. Now, with the transition to a completely open market, the need for settlement between distribution operators and traders requires hourly consumption records that are not generally available, so deriving load diagrams for LV consumers is a mandatory task. This paper presents a new methodology for this purpose that uses typical diagrams obtained in measurement campaigns to create classes defined in the commercial information space that maximize the compactness of the diagrams in each class. The methodology was developed in a project with EDP (the Portuguese distribution operator) and the result will probably be adopted by the regulatory authority. © 2005 ISAP.
