Electricity consumption patterns in households

Authors:   Fermin Mallor, José Antonio Moler, Henar Urmeneta

Abstract

Obtaining patterns for electricity consumption in a particular household is a key point to simulate and to dimension the electricity supply needed in an isolated house. Electricity consumption profile of a user is a function that indicates the electrical consumption in a dwelling over a period of time, usually one day. When this function is considered as a datum and some days are observed, a sample of functions is obtained. Functional Data Analysis (FDA) provides procedures and techniques to analyze this kind of samples. In particular, usual estimators and some procedures of the classical statistical analysis are extended to this context. In this paper we make use of the FDA to analyze the variability in the electricity consumption profiles to obtain consumption patterns useful for simulation of electricity demand in individual households.
