Abstract
In the current market design, the increasing use of renewable energy sources for electricity generation leads to new challenges in balancing supply and demand. While households are responsible for 29% of total electricity demand in Europe, a good understanding of their consumption and load profiles is missing. Households have become one of the most crucial factors shaping the management of developments towards sustainability. The development and implementation of effective policies for promoting energy efficiency in the household sector has been an emerging target of the EU. Recent analyses of Bulgarian households show this type of housing as the most statistically significant variable to impact electricity savings. This study deals with the statistical analysis of electric consumption. Statistical evaluations of electricity consumption in a typical apartment building have been obtained in the research. Mathematical models of the investigated loads have been developed. The research is based on the periodic results and the object of investigation is a typical residential block of flats in Ruse, Bulgaria. The average daily energy consumption during the weekdays and weekends is presented and analysed in the paper.
