Transform Loads
---------------
``Loads.dss`` files need to be transformed before generating PV deployments.

- Loads may need to be changed to use suitable center-tap schema.
- Temporarily disconnect load shapes. The generation process compiles the OpenDSS circuit.
If load shapes are present, OpenDSS has to load the data and that can take significant
amounts of time. Load shapes are not needed by the generation process, and so it disables
them in the OpenDSS text files. A later step re-enables them.

The command to run this is,

.. code-block:: bash
$ disco pv-deployments source-tree-1 -a transform-loads -h <hierarchy> INPUT_PATH
Redirect PVShapes
-----------------
This workflow will generate OpenDSS files with varying counts and sizes of PVSystems. It will

Transform Loads

Also, ``Loads.dss`` file under the feeder needs to be transformed before PV deployments, so that to
change load model to suitable center-tap schema if needed. The command to run this is,
