*2.2. Load Information*

The current electricity system of Chiang Mai University is operated by the national grid system. The amount of electricity consumed in 2015 was calculated to be 17,654,195 kWh. Because this amount is too heavy to simulate, the current study used the 50% scaled electricity load information for the simulation. Based on the 50% scaled electricity load information, 1385 kW of peak electricity and 19,472 kWh/d of average daily peak electricity were examined. The load factor in 2015 was calculated to be 0.586 (Figure 2).
