Abstract

We present a statistical analysis of French household electricity demand data. By distributing HEMS sets to 200 French volunteer families, we collected data of measuring units of household electricity demand from April of 2014 to March of 2015. Focusing four features, electrical energy consumption, maximum power, difference between maximum power and 99 percentile point of power, and load factor, we analyzed relations between these features and attributes collected from the 114 French volunteer families who responded to questionnaires. Our analysis shows that the amounts of electrical energy consumption of the valid respondents who used electrical heating appliances in their living rooms were 700 kWh more than those of the valid respondents who used non-electrical heating appliances in their living rooms in winter. From our analysis result, we consider that the families who used electrical heating appliances in their living rooms consumed large amounts of electricity over a long time. In order to reduce high electricity demand in winter in France, HEMS (Home Energy Management System) may be necessary for advanced heating control.
