Hi,

The project is in the "colecting data point". It would be very interesting to compare data and publish together.

Best regards,

Cristina

Hi Thinus,

I agree with Cristina.

After the collecting stage, we will be able to establish consumption patterns and compare our results with yours. Similarities and differences can be analyzed for different environments and use conditions.

Thank you for your contribution,

Best regards,

Ana 

Sure - here is our dataset: http://staff.ee.sun.ac.za/mjbooysen/SAUPEC2017Dataset/

Thank you so much

I think that is a good option join water or gas to the concept of smart metering. 

In our project we are measuring gas too.

Welcom,

of course, how to access to this bank data.

Hi,

as part of my master thesis I am currently searching for residential hot water consumption data and stumbled across this post. Sadly I don't know how to interpret the results. The column titles state "W" with values around 3, and Hm with values below 30. What does this mean?

If I find a way to use this data, there will be a proper citation of the given papers obviously.

Kind regards,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

The W column is the average power (in kW) for the minute sampled. The Hm is the is the water that flowed (in L) for the minute sampled.

For more recent papers, also have a look at Article Comfort, peak load and energy: Centralised control of water ...

All the best.

By the way, if anyone is interested, let me know. I have a much bigger dataset now - over 85 water heaters with hot water and energy consumption.

Hi Thinus,

thank you so much for your quick response! If is not too much effort to make available, I would be very interested in your data.

Cheers, Bruno

Hi, sorry for the delay. Here is a dataset of water consumed for over 7 months for 98 domestic water heaters: https://goo.gl/GDY3VC

Thank you M.J. (Thinus) Booysen for providing the data!

All, if you need it, we have a significantly richer dataset of 77 EWHs over a year, measured minutely at http://bit.ly/EWHSavingsESDDataset.

All, here is our validated probabilistic hot water usage generator which differentiates between days of the week and seasons of the year

Preprint A probabilistic hot water usage model and simulator for use ...

The original dataset is also included - just follow the link at the end of the paper.

Feel free to use, but please cite.

Yes I do
