LoadSEER
The LoadSEER algorithm uses a demand and supply matching approach to allocate the control totals of land use growth, for any given year, within the framework of regional influences, local preference rules and availability limits. LoadSEER is able to efficiently perform the necessary calculations and analyses down to a 1 acre level of specificity. Using a state-of-the-art cellular automata sub-algorithm LoadSEER determines land-use changes on a small area geospatial grid of cells, each in one of a number of land use density states. The grid can be in any number dimensions according to land use preferences and proximity scores. Time is also discrete, and the state of a cell at time t is a function of the states of a number of cells (its neighborhood) at time t - 1. Every cell has the same rule for updating, based on the values in this neighborhood. Each time the rules are applied to the whole grid a new generation of land use electric load density is created.
