Visualizing 2665 electric power load curves an a single A4 sheet ofpaper

摘要

The load curves of a panel of 205 clients of EDF aresystematically collected and archived in a centralized database. Amongother applications, these curves are used to understand the powerconsumption behaviour of these clients, in order to fix the price moreacutely. A way of analyzing the consumption of these clients is toperform automatic clustering of the different load curves and give aninterpretation to the clusters. In this paper, we investigate the use ofnew techniques to perform this clustering process: the Kohonen maps.Combining this method with new visualization techniques provides a muchbetter understanding of large datasets of load curves
