domestic electricity Load

Waestrel

Hey guys, not sure where else to ask this. I had asked over in engineering but it was suggested i try here instead.

currently looking at off grid power and as part of the research I need to find a daily load profile for a domestic setting, ideally one for each season of the year. Irish domestic ideal , but any is acceptable really. Any ideas where to go looking for such data? Or if anyone can provide data that is somewhat average, I would greatly appreciate it. Really just a ballpark, and i would expect I would see peaks at evening and morning and less in the midday, more in the winter, less in the summer etc.

many thanks!

Have I got the excel spreadsheet for you!

These spreadsheets give the proportion of the yearly usage which is used for each quarter-hour of every day of the year. They are different for different types of user and meter configurations. For domestic, I think you are after LP1.

The energy department in UCD has the profile from all the houses in Ireland that par took in the smart meter trials. I don't have the link on my phone but it's easy to find

Thats exaclty the kinda thing i am looking for - what was it, some kind of trial?

You just need to ask them for it.
