Characteristics of Electrical Energy Consumption in the Social Housing

Abstract

In the period 2011–2013 a team from “Angel Kanchev” University of Ruse has worked within international project Balanced European Conservation Approach (BECA), financed under the Information and Communication Technologies Policy Support Program. The project’s main goal was to provide energy services to social housing sector using modern measuring devices and licensed software. With them each consumer can track down online his own consumption of electrical energy. This article shows the results received from studying the load profiles of electric energy consumption in a residential block of apartments. The load profiles were analyzed using the software product Statgraphics. The dynamics of the studied random process is shown making a statistical analysis of the correlation functions and the spectral densities of the electrical consumption. As a result, the statistical assessments of the electrical consumption create the possibility for the consumers to efficiently manage their electrical loads.
