Abstract
In recent years, the increment of distributed electricity generation based on renewable energy sources and improvement of communication technologies have caused the development of next-generation power grids known as smart grids. The structures of smart grids have bidirectional communication capability and enable the connection of energy generated from distributed sources to any point on the grid. They also support consumers in energy efficiency by creating opportunities for management of power consumption. The information on power consumption and load profiles of home appliances is essential to perform load management in the dwelling accurately. In this study, the power consumption data for all the basic home appliances, utilized in a two-person family in Çankırı, Turkey, was obtained with high resolution in one-second intervals. The detailed power consumption analysis and load profile were executed for each home appliance. The obtained data is not only the average power consumption of each appliance but also characterizes different operating modes or their cycles. In addition, the impact of these devices on home energy management studies and their standby power consumptions were also discussed. The acquired data is an important source to determine the load profile of individual home appliances precisely in home energy management studies. Although the results of this study do not completely reflect the energy consumption behavior of the people who live in this region, they can reveal the trends in load demands based on a real sample and customer consumption behavior of a typical two-person family.
Highlights
Smart grids (SGs) that attract intensive attention are reliable power grids having self-healing ability, comprising the consumers producing their own energy based on renewable energy sources with minimum cost and allowing the use of available infrastructure with full capacity [1,2,3,4]
The results of the power consumption measurements of the specified home appliances are discussed in detail for each device device considering considering different operating operating modes
The power consumption data of 12 different home appliances employed by a two-person family living in Çankırı, Turkey was recorded for three months
Summary
Smart grids (SGs) that attract intensive attention are reliable power grids having self-healing ability, comprising the consumers producing their own energy based on renewable energy sources with minimum cost and allowing the use of available infrastructure with full capacity [1,2,3,4]. SGs give the opportunity for consumers to operate demand response programs independently so that the optimal matching between source and load can be spread to each region of the horizontal time axis by considering consumer habits. Initial demand response programs were used to control loads at peak times in the United States [6]. Demand response programs, considered as a power system resource and an essential part of SGs currently, bring economic benefits to the consumers and utility by spreading the consumption of electrical loads to the time axis, and they enhance the reliability and sustainability of power grids [6,7]. Incentives are given directly or indirectly to encourage the use of demand response programs. Dynamic demand response programs were accepted by the European
