Identifying residential daily electricity-use profiles through time-segmented regression analysis

In many countries the residential sector contributes significantly to peak demand. Some of the promising approaches to reduce these peaks, such as energy efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) programmes, currently lack the sophistication to target households with particular characteristics or that make the most contribution to peaks. We present an analytical approach ‘time-segmented regression analysis (TSRA)’ that is able to determine the...
