Daily load profile and monthly power peaks evaluation of the urban substation of the capital of Jordan Amman

The hourly recorded power of an urban substation of the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) in the capital of Jordan Amman is used to calculate the diversity and conversion factors of the substation. These factors are used to estimate the daily load power profile and the monthly peak power of the substation. The results show that the conversion factors are almost independent of the number of feeders in the substation, while the diversity factors vary in substations that have six feeders or less. The results show a good correlation between the estimated and actual recorded data of the daily load profile with less than 5% percentage error.

► Diversity and conversion factors characteristics of substation in Amman are studied.
► These are related with type of days and seasons of the year.
► Diversity and conversion factor becomes almost independent of the number of feeders.
► Both factors are used to estimate the daily load profile and the peak of the month.
► The estimated daily load profiles are highly correlated achieved with the measured.
