How to get nodal load, there is no proportion of the total regional load consumed at each bus defined in the [`bus.csv`]

[ylic204]

Hello,

I see that the documentation for # Timeseries Data Files mentions "To get nodal load, multiply the regional load timeseries by the proportion of the total regional load consumed at each bus defined in the bus.csv". But I don't find the corresponding scale value in bus.csv, which only has the following values.

| Bus ID | Numeric Bus ID | | Bus Name | Bus name from RTS-96 | | BaseKV | Bus voltage rating | | Bus Type | Bus control type | | MW Load | Real power demand | | MVAR Load | Reactive power demand | | V Mag | Voltage magnitude setpoint | | V Angle | Voltage angle setpoint in degrees | | MW Shunt G | Shunt conductance | | MVAR Shunt B | Shunt susceptance | | Area | Area membership | | Sub Area | Sub area membership | | Zone | Zone membership | | lat | Bus latitude location | | lng | Bus longitude location |

You can determine the load participation factors by summing the MW Load value for all loads in each area, then dividing the MW Load value for each load by the total area load.
