Brief description
This data is from the customer trial conducted as part of the Smart Grid Smart City (SGSC) project (2010-2014). It provides one of the few linked sets of customer time of use (half hour increments) and demographic data for Australia, as well as detailed information on appliance use, climate, retail and distributor product offers, and other related factors. The project was jointly funded by the Australian Government and an industry consortium, led by Ausgrid.Data resources that comprise this Customer Trial Data may be linked by the Customer ID number. Details of data resources for this dataset are listed below and include: electricity use interval readings; home area network plug readings; peak events; peak events response; and offer and acceptance.
The SGSC project was a commercial scale demonstration of smart grids, their associated technologies and other factors. Information about the project, including final reports, can be found at the archived [Department of Industry, Innovation and Science] website.
