HLP (Hourly Load Profiles) dataset

Information

• The HLP (Hourly Load Profiles) dataset is a publicly available dataset of hourly load profiles for electricity demand in various regions around the world.
• The dataset is managed by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and is intended to provide data for modeling and analysis of energy systems, particularly with respect to electricity demand forecasting and energy policy planning.
• The HLP dataset contains hourly load profiles for residential, commercial, and industrial electricity demand, broken down by country, region, and sector.
• The data is provided in the form of Excel spreadsheets, with separate files for each country and sector.
• The load profiles are based on actual measured data or are estimated using statistical methods based on available data, and are normalized to a standard temperature and day type.
• The HLP dataset has been used in various research studies and collaborations related to energy systems modeling, demand forecasting, and policy analysis, and has contributed to the development of various energy planning tools and methodologies.
• The dataset is available for free access, but users are required to register and agree to a data use policy that includes restrictions on commercial use and redistribution of the data.
• The HLP dataset is regularly updated with new data and features, and the IEA provides technical support and guidance for users of the dataset.
