Short term Residential Load Data: Measurement and Analysis

摘要

This paper describes the results of a measurement program that documents the short-term load effects found in typical residential loads. The study shows that residential load, when considered over 20 cycle data windows, the residential load exhibits a large number of rapid load changes. These rapid changes are hidden when the more typical one minute or 15 minute load data are considered. Knowledge of these rapid load changes are important for the development of distributed generation technologies which are currently under development.
