Loads register — known, estimated, unknown (two sites)

Purpose: Single register for electrical and major duty-cycled energy loads at SITE_HOME and SITE_FARM so Farm on-site power system, Utility baseline, and business-plan execution share one table—without mixing in parcel or soil facts.

Package: Local evidence package — East Tennessee two-site.

Business plan: East Tennessee two-site farm business plan (package) — energy targets stay in package pages; here: site-specific load lines.

Epistemic classes

Class Meaning
Measured Clamp meter, utility interval data, inverter log
Estimated Nameplate × duty cycle—show math in notes column
Assumption Planning default from equipment plan—replace
Unknown Not yet identified or metered

Electrical loads (master table)

Add rows; do not invent amperages—Unknown until measured.

Thermal / non-electric energy (where relevant)

Site Load ID Description Fact class Fuel / source Duty Blocks
SITE_HOME H-T-001 Heat / DHW Unknown TBD TBD Electrification vs propane
SITE_FARM F-T-001 Water heating for parlor / wash Unknown TBD TBD Solar thermal vs electric

Simultaneity and diversity (planning)

Scenario Fact class Assumed overlapping loads Notes Blocks
Winter evening peak (home) Assumption TBD Replace with measured stack Whole-home backup
Irrigation + barn (farm) Unknown TBD Field verify Generator vs grid upgrade

Decision gates

Decision Blocked until
Inverter kW Surge + continuous for worst-case overlapping measured loads
Battery kWh Measured overnight + irrigation window overlap
Grid service upgrade Utility demand history + planned new loads
