Abstract

The heating and electricity consumption data are the results of an energy audit program aggregated for multiple load profiles of a residential customer. These profiles include HVAC systems loads, convenience power, elevator, etc. The datasets are gathered between December 2010 and November 2018 with a one-hour timestep resolution, thereby containing 140,160 measurements, half of which is for heat or electricity. In addition to the historical energy consumption values, a concatenation of weather variables is also available. The weather variables are air pressure, temperature, and humidity plus wind speed, cloudiness percentage, and solar irradiation at the predetermined location. 

 

For further characteristics, interested readers are invited to see the reference [1].

Instructions:

This is a publicly available dataset of heating and electricity consumption profiles, aggregated from multiple load profiles of a residential customer. The dataset is gathered between December 2010 and November 2018 with a one-hour time step resolution, thereby containing 70,080 measurements. In addition to the historical energy consumption values, a concatenation of meteorological variables is also included. The weather variables are air pressure, temperature, and humidity plus wind speed and solar irradiation at the predetermined location. 

Accessing the database for a minor data analytics project at the college.

Hi, Thanks for sharing. The data Characterisation zip is not ahoe=wing any attachment , it is showing XML file upon downloading. Could you please check and confirm?

Hello, is it okay to use this for my master thesis? I need hourly loads for electricity and heating as this dataset have, in order to try different algorithms in order to optimize a battery storage system.

Hi, Could you please give information, on the topics below? 1. from how many homes comes the given demand for electricity and heat? 2. in what approximate location are the homes in question? 3. what type of houses were they? (Mostly single-family homes, or maybe apartment blocks/hotels) Greetings

Hi, 

I want to use this data for my research related to probabilistic load forecasting. Can you please let me know the exact or approximate location (Latitude and Longitude) of the residential building from where you got the electric and heating load data?

Thank you very much

Hi
I have a few questions about this dataset:
1.What is the location of this residential building?
2.What kind of building is it?
3.May I use this data set for a thesis project?
Thank you

Hello,

 

I have a few questions about the data that has been received.

1) What type of building was it?

2) What type of electrical elements were in the house? and how many?
