Load Profiles

This page gives a short overview of the content, data and models used for generation of heating, tapwater and electricity load profiles. Data can be displayed and downloaded as csv.

Framework

The load profiles are written in dash, where the graph is generated and integrated into the frontend with an iframe. Detailed Descriptions is given in: Plotly Apps

Factors and the Test Reference Year (TRY) are stored using csv. The data is loaded, and with user input turned into a plotly dash graph.Real weather data is obtained from Deutscher Wetterdienst using the wetterdienst Library.

Theoretical Background

• For the electricity loadprofiles the Standard Load Profiles by BDEW are used.

• For the Heat approximation the method of Marcus Hellwig, 2003, “Entwicklung und Anwendung parametrisierter Standard-Lastprofile” is applied.

• For gathering weather data, we use the open source library wetterdienst.
