Comparative analysis of power consumption time series in deprived and developed regions of Iran

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of power consumption time series at 12 o'clock every day between 2020 and 2022 for one distribution network in Sistan and one in Tehran. The aim of this study is to compare the development and climate differences between these regions, as well as the impact of social, industrial, and environmental factors. By comparing a deprived area with an area in the capital, we aim to identify potential disparities in power consumption and identify potential areas for improvement. We employed the CRP tool software and toolkit for time series analysis and used various methods to compare and predict the predictability of each time series. Our findings suggest significant differences in power consumption between the two regions, which could be attributed to socio-economic and environmental factors. Overall, this study sheds light on the potential impact of regional differences on power consumption and highlights the need for further research in this area.
