TL;DR
Hourly electricity consumption data is used to update existing load profiles, cluster customers and create new cluster profiles, and specify individual profiles for selected customers, all of which are then used in distribution network analysis.
Abstract
Automatic meter reading (AMR) is becoming common in many European countries. This paper shows how AMR measurements can be used to create new load profiles and how these new load profiles can be applied to improve distribution network analysis accuracy. In this paper, hourly electricity consumption data is used to update existing load profiles, cluster customers and create new cluster profiles, and specify individual profiles for selected customers, all of which are then used in distribution network analysis. The results between existing and new load profiling methods are compared. Comparisons are also made between different methods of AMR-based load profiling. (4 pages)
