Household appliances’ load profile generation based on data-analytic device operation and resident activities

This study discloses a load profile dataset of major household appliances for load flexibility (LF) utilization in residential sectors. To generate the profiles, measured load consumption patterns of each appliance and residents’ time-use survey data are analysed. Representative appliances used during the customers’ daily activities are defined and their power consumption profiles during a single operation cycle are collected according to various scenarios. The entire dataset is available at one-second intervals for daily profiles of individual appliances. The dataset can be used in multiple ways to contribute to the economic and environmental impact estimation of LF application, such as market/rate design, customer targeting, and electricity system planning.
