Microgrid load dataset

What is the advanced microgrid?

The advanced microgrid contains several distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar power plants, electric vehicles, buildings, a combined heat and power gas-fired power plant, and electric and thermal storage. Most datasets contain 15-min averages of real and reactive power from 1 January, 2015 until 29 February, 2020.

What data formats are available for Microgrid data?

The microgrid data is available in both raw and cleaned formats for data per second. In addition, the data per second has been summarised into hourly data for easy comparison. To enable understanding of the different recorded parameters, their machine codes, and Japanese labels, Table 4 provides their translation/description.

What are the components of a microgrid?

The main components of interest in the microgrid to this study are the four arrays of solar panels, a lead-acid battery, and a pyranometer (see Fig. 1 ). There is also a backup power generator, which can be initiated during emergency power failures, although this has not occurred during the period of data recording.

What are the tools for micro-grid load and tariff considerations?

These tools are designed to inform high level thinking around micro-grid load and tariff considerations in sub-Saharan Africa. There are two related tools in this dataset: 1. Microgrid REopt LCOE Results Explorer.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

The microgrid operates a natural gas fired combined heat & power plant that provides district heating and cooling to most buildings on the campus. The plant consists of two 13.5 MW natural gas turbines, a steam generator, electric chillers, and a chilled water tank for thermal energy storage.

What is a demand-side grid model?

The demand-side grid model creates comprehensive electricity load datasets at high temporal, geographic, sectoral, and end-use resolution, enabling detailed analyses of current and projected end-use loads. Energy Management Information Systems aggregate facility data to optimize energy use for federal buildings and campuses.
