Energy

27 datasets

Energy datasets fall into two groups. System-level sources describe generation and markets: the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Public Utility Data Liberation Project (PUDL), which cleans US government energy data into usable tables, the World Resources Institute's Global Power Plant Database and Germany's Marktstammdatenregister of generating units and storage. Daily retail fuel prices for over 170 countries and for Pakistan are also listed.

The second group is electricity consumption measured at buildings and appliances, mostly built for non-intrusive load monitoring research: UK-DALE, AMPds, BLUEd, ECO, PLAID, WHITED, iAWE, HES, MORED and the synthetic SYND. These differ a lot in sampling rate, from high-frequency waveforms to minutely or hourly readings, and in how many homes they cover, so match the dataset to the method you are testing. DEL, the South African load study, is CC BY-NC.
