If you needed to perform analysis on a buildings electrical system to determine if the system is sufficient to support additional loads would you perform a load flow analysis. If so is there any online material that explains this process or recommended texts, if not how would you begin to do such an analysis?

Hello matt

For sure there will be software programs to help you with that.
As to the process : you need clear data on :

- what is presently the max. allowed power available to the building?
- what is the normal power consumption?
- what is the peak power consumption?
- when and how often does peak power consumption occurs?
- how much difference between peak power consumption and top power consumption?
- is power consumption balanced?
- what additional load is/may be required?
