Despite their age, residential standard load profiles (SLPs) are a widely used tool to represent the electric power demand of a household. However, the prospect of a future power system relying mainly on renewable and often intermittent, distributed energy resources (DER) is pushing SLPs to their limit. Determining self consumption rates and the potential of demand response through smart home applications or simulating distribution grids,...
