Every network model has a limited load that it can support before reaching 
voltage collapse. Obviously, there is no single right answer to your question 
about how to scale loads in a test case like the IEEE 14-bus case. My 
recommendation would be to scale your daily profile so that the peak equals 1 
(this assumes the existing loads represent a peak loading condition). Then use 
that normalized profile to scale the existing loads uniformly. There is no 
problem with including load at the slack bus.
