Synthetically derived profiles for representing occupant-driven electric loads in Canadian housing
TL;DR: In this paper, detailed Canadian household electrical demand profiles using a bottom-up approach from available inputs, including a detailed appliance set, annual consumption targets and occupancy patterns, were created for use in the simulation of residential cogeneration devices to examine the issues of system performance, efficiency and emission reduction potential.
Disaggregating categories of electrical energy end-use from whole-house hourly data
Benjamin J. Birt,Guy R. Newsham,Ian Beausoleil-Morrison,M. M. Armstrong,Neil Saldanha,Ian H. Rowlands +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method that can be applied to hourly whole-house electrical energy data to partially disaggregate total household electricity use into five load categories/parameters (base load, activity load, heating season gradient, cooling season gradient and lowest external temperature at which air-conditioning is used).
