Abstract

To contribute to quality understanding of the multiple factors’ impact on load management, we provided the analysis of the concurrent impact of available multiple impact factors on load, examined correlations between the factors and load, and offered and validated the multifactor load model for the suburban field. The results show the concurrent impact of the factors under consideration on load in suburban field. This study continues to confirm that the application of load modeling using multiple impact factors is justified and reveals the importance of concurrent context and user factors effect already analyzed in urban region.
