loads are normally assigned to a feeder line section as shown in the the milsoft windmil load data editor panel in fig. 6. It would be rather difficult to include each customer as a separate node in the circuit analysis, so the customer load is simply summed up for a circuit section. The raw data use for allocation is shown in the bottom of the screen, which for a residential load type would include per phase total energy consumption, the number of customers and total transformer kVA capacity. The middle of the panel shows the real and reactive power that was allocated to this section using the load allocation procedure. The top of the panel shows a load location which is defined to be uniform for this particular case. Uniform load location, or what is sometime referred to as distributed load location, refers to the fact that the load is actually distributed along the entire length of the line section, and not just lumped at the end. As we will see later on in the notes, uniform load can be modeled by putting one-half of the load at the source end and one-half of the load at the load end.
