Datasets on South Korean manufacturing factories’ electricity consumption and demand response participation

This study describes the release of electricity consumption data of some manufacturing factories located in South Korea that participate in the demand response (DR) market. The data (in kilowatt) comprise individual factories’ total power usage details that were acquired using advanced metering infrastructures. They further contain details on the manufacture types, DR participation dates, mandatory reduction capacities, and response capacities of the factories. For data acquisition, 10 manufacturing companies are representatively selected according to the process regularity and company size standard of this study. Entire datasets are newly collected and available at one-minute intervals for a period of 7 months from 1 March to 30 September 2019. These datasets can be used in a variety of ways to contribute to the functioning of power systems and markets, including the conduction of industrial load characteristic analysis for load flexibility, estimation of demand-side considerations for virtual power plant design, and determination of energy markets and incentives to achieve carbon neutrality targets at the national level.

本研究披露了参与需求响应（Demand Response, DR）市场的部分韩国制造业工厂的用电数据集。该数据集以千瓦为单位，包含通过高级计量基础设施（Advanced Metering Infrastructures）采集的各工厂总用电详情，同时涵盖各工厂的生产类型、参与需求响应的日期、强制削减容量及响应容量等信息。本次数据采集依据本研究设定的生产流程规律性与企业规模标准，选取10家制造业企业作为代表性样本。所有数据集均为全新采集，采集频率为每分钟1次，采集时段为2019年3月1日至2019年9月30日，共计7个月。该数据集可通过多种应用场景为电力系统及电力市场的稳健运行提供支撑，具体包括开展面向负荷灵活性的工业负荷特性分析、评估虚拟电厂（Virtual Power Plant）设计所需的需求侧考量要素，以及制定能源市场与激励政策以实现国家级碳中和（Carbon Neutrality）目标。
