Irish smart meter dataset

Information

• The Irish Smart Meter dataset is a publicly available dataset of electricity consumption measurements collected from smart meters installed in Irish households and small businesses.
• The dataset is managed by the Irish Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU), and is intended to support research on energy demand and behavior, as well as the development of energy management tools and services.
• The Irish Smart Meter dataset contains half-hourly electricity consumption readings for over 6,000 households and small businesses across Ireland, collected between 2010 and 2013.
• The data includes both active and reactive power readings, as well as voltage and frequency measurements.
• The dataset is anonymized to protect the privacy of users, but includes information on the type of property, its location, and the number of occupants.
• The Irish Smart Meter dataset has been used in various research studies and collaborations related to energy demand analysis, load forecasting, and the development of energy management tools and services, and has contributed to the understanding of energy demand patterns and user behavior in Ireland.
• 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• The Irish Smart Meter dataset is no longer being updated with new data, as Ireland has transitioned to a new smart metering system, but the dataset remains a valuable resource for energy research and analysis.
