Press t agan to return to regular wndow.» Feedback: If you need to gve feedback to the presenter durng the meetng, such as, slow down or need to get the presenters attenton for some other reason, use the pull down menu n the seatng chart and we wll address t rght away.» Questons: If you have questons, please type your queston n the Q&A box n the bottom, rght corner. We wll try to answer as many questons as we can. 2
3 Motvaton for the Presentaton» Itron s addng a sample desgn component to the Itron Load Research System (LRS). Varance Model Estmaton Sze Breakpont analyss Stratfcaton analyss for populaton data Optmal sample sze and precson calculatons Sample pont selecton» One of the advanced approaches that s ncluded s called Model-Based sample desgn.» Purpose of ths presentaton s to share what we have learned about model based approaches and to relate the approaches to varance modelng (CH, ARCH, GARCH) 3
4 Typcal Desgn Problems» Class Load Research Desgn a sample to estmate class loads at the tme of system peak For each class, stratfy the populaton, and select ponts Select enough ponts to estmate class loads +- 10% at tme of peak Typcal stratfcaton: - Sze (annual sales, seasonal sales, or peak month sales) - End use (wth electrc heat vs. wthout electrc heat) - Segment (housng type, buldng type, ndustry) - Geography (jursdcton)» Program Evaluaton Desgn a sample of partcpants p to estmate program mpacts Stratfy the partcpant populaton by some measure of sze - Sales (annual or seasonal) - Expected mpacts, ncentve payment level, 4
5 Load Research Sample Expanson Each blue lne represents the hourly loads of one sample customer n the General Servce Small stratum. The black lne s the stratum average. The goal of sample expanson s to estmate the hourly load and confdence bands for the class. 5
6 Sample Desgn Questons» How bg does the sample need to be to reach a target precson level.» Or Wth a sample sze of n, how do we get the best precson.» To answer the questons about precson and sample sze, you need to know somethng about the thng you are tryng to estmate: An expected average value (y average) A rato to somethng that s known (y/x rato) A measure of dsperson n the populaton (y standard devaton)» Model based desgn can help answer key questons. Uses are: Defne stratfcaton level and sze breakponts Allocate sample ponts to strata Provde desgn parameters for precson calculatons 6
7 Statstcs for Mean Per Unt (MPU) Estmaton n = 66 Average yavg s n y Standard Devaton ystddev s y n 11 yavg 2 Coeffcent of Varaton CV s a untless measure of varablty ycv ystddev yavg 7

All we need to know s the CV and the sample sze (n) RP 1.96 AvgStdErr yavg 1.96 ycv n 8
9 Precson vs. Sample Sze Relatve Precson Calculate the precson for 1.96 AvgStdErr ycv RP 1.96 a gven sample sze n: yavg n Example: ycv=.522, n=66 RP = 13% Requred Sample Sze 1.96 ycv n RP 2 Calculate the sample sze requred for a target precson at a gven confdence level Example: ycv=.522, RP = 10% n=105 It gets more complex wth stratfcaton, but not much. Formulas are the same wthn each stratum. Weght across the strata to get overall results. 9

11 Rato Methods and Auxlary Varables» Auxlary varable (X) -- somethng that s known for all customers: Annual energy Seasonal energy Maxmum demand for demand metered classes» Rato methods can mprove precson. Ths works well when the target varable and the auxlary varable are strongly correlated.» There are two types of rato expanson: Separate rato (SR) uses monthly energy values for each stratum. Combned rato (CR) uses monthly energy values for the class. Typcally CR s used because populaton energy s avalable at the class level but not at the stratum level.» Regardless of the varable used n sample desgn, the varable used n expansons s typcally revenue month or calendar month energy. 11

All we need s the Error Rato and the sample sze (n) RP 1.96 AvgStdErr k yavg ErrRato 1.96 n 13
14 MPU Versus Rato Rato Estmaton Mean Per Unt Estmaton RP 1.96 ycv n RP ErrRato 1.96 n Generally, f the correlaton between X and Y s strong (>.5), rato estmaton wll provde better precson than mean per unt estmaton. 14

17 Model Based Sample Desgn» Model based sample desgn utlzes varance models to develop desgn parameters for sample desgn efforts. Ths approach was frst appled to load research by Roget Wrght n the late 1980 s.» Model based desgn uses a condtonal heteroskedastc (CH) model of the error varance n the Y drecton.» Ths s smlar to ARCH and GARCH models that are used to model volatlty n tme seres problems. The same nonlnear estmaton methods work for CH models.» Of course, ths requres data from a pror sample to estmate the model parameters. 17
