Flight Power Profile

I'm conducting a study into alternative electrical power sources in flight.

Can anyone provide a flight-power profile for their aircraft? What I'm interested in is the amount of power and the timing, for example:

Main galley operates from wheels up for two hours at 50kW.

Anti icing operates from top-of-drop until touchdown (1 hour) at 60kW.

The idea being that will a little ingenuity, the power needs can be managed to reduce the peak loading and reduce the size of the generators / decrease fuel burn.

Thanks in advance for any replies...
