Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
This study includes electricity data measured at one-minute resolution in 22 dwellings over two complete years (2008 and 2009). Each dwelling was fitted with a single meter covering electricity use of the whole dwelling, however, the one-minute resolution allows the switching of individual domestic appliances to be observed. The meters conform to BS EN 62053-21:2003 and measure true active power (taking proper account of the voltage). The study also includes the results of a dwelling characteristics survey which was completed for each dwelling detailing its characteristics and the types of appliances and lighting installed.
Main Topics:
Electricity data:
The data are separated by dwelling and year so there are 44 data files in total. These include one-minute resolution domestic electricity use data.
Dwelling characteristics survey:
This short survey has been completed for each dwelling and covers characteristics of the household. The main topics covered are: general energy use; lighting; and appliances.
