The Demand Profile is a file which gives the forecast demand for certain time period. This file is created in a separate program called the 'Demand File Writer'.
A Demand profile file (<Grid name>_DP.dat) contains a list of Nodes and their proportional share of Demand for a particular year (by period), where the year runs form 1st April of a year to 31st March of the next. The proportional share is calculated on the basis of actual metered data for a year and is stored to half hourly detail. So, for a particular Node on a particular day, in a particular half hour period, that Node's (proportional) share of total annual Demand at that time is held.
