Abstract:
This data article presents electricity demand data on common household appliances in the Dominican Republic and therefore in the Caribbean region, as well as appliances whose demand characteristics are maintained regardless of geographic location. A one-hour record is made in most cases, for 17 household appliances, containing information on power demand, effective current, power factor and harmonic distortion of voltage and current. The average, minimum, and maximum values of each parameter for one minute are provided. The data were obtained using the Fluke-1738 electrical network analyzer. The data can be used to build demand profiles in the residential or commercial sector, depending on the composition of electrical appliances and the hours of use, dimension photovoltaic systems for self-consumption and emergency electrical sources. Although the number of household appliances and conditions of use of some appliances do not constitute a representative sample, the dataset and the measurement method constitute a starting point for obtaining this type of records, which are scarce in the literature.
