"Real Time Load Profiles" is a very generic term. Since you mention
SmartGrid, I assume you mean electric power use profiles.
Timeseries CSV files are a common standard output from EnergyPlus
and most tools (nearly all the example files produce some variation
of this). A single command in EnergyPlus will produce this directly
as a csv file if you set the timestep = 60.<br>
<br>
Output:Meter, Electricity:Facility, timestep;<br>
<br>
The first column is date/time instead of seconds, but that can
easily be converted inside excel. This will give you
minute-by-minute electric power consumption. Or maybe I'm
misunderstanding the question.<br>
