Abstract:
This article introduces a dataset containing electricity consumption records of residential households in Uruguay (mostly in Montevideo). The dataset is conceived to analyze customer behavior and detect patterns of energy consumption that can help to improve the service. The dataset is conformed by three subsets that cover total household consumption, electric water heater consumption, and by-appliance electricity consumption, with sample intervals from one to fifteen minutes. The datetime ranges of the recorded consumptions vary depending on the subset, from some weeks long to some years long. The data was collected by the Uruguayan electricity company (UTE) and studied by Universidad de la República. The presented dataset is a valuable input for researchers in the study of energy consumption patterns, energy disaggregation, the design of energy billing plans, among other relevant issues related to the intelligent utilization of energy in modern smart cities.
