Summary
This study presents a unique dataset integrating household energy and electric vehicle (EV) mobility data. This resource aids in developing smart grid strategies and understanding energy consumption patterns.
Area of Science:
- Energy Systems and Policy
- Sustainable Transportation
- Renewable Energy Integration
Background:
- Accurate household energy demand data is crucial for optimizing energy systems.
- Existing datasets often lack integrated energy and mobility metrics at the household level.
- Demand-side management, load shifting, and storage solutions require granular data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the first publicly available dataset combining household energy consumption and electric vehicle (EV) mobility data.
- To provide a comprehensive resource for analyzing the interplay between residential energy use and EV charging behavior.
- To support research in demand response programs, energy storage, and smart grid development.
Main Methods:
- Collected data from four volunteer households in a pilot energy community in Ireland.
- Integrated multiple data streams: grid imports/exports, rooftop photovoltaic (PV) production, EV charging sessions, and detailed EV journey logs.
- Included data on battery telemetry and air-source heat pump energy demand for a specific period.
Main Results:
- The dataset spans three years for grid and PV data, with one year of detailed EV mobility logs.
- It offers 30-minute interval data for grid imports/exports and PV production.
- Provides insights into EV charging patterns and household energy consumption from mid-2021 to early 2022.
Conclusions:
- This integrated dataset offers a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers.
- It enables in-depth analysis of household energy flexibility and EV integration challenges.
- Facilitates the design and evaluation of advanced energy management strategies.

1.9K
Using electric appliances for a longer period of time consumes more electrical energy and results in a higher electric bill. The energy produced by the transfer of electrons from one point to another is known as electrical energy. If power is delivered at a constant rate, the electrical energy can be defined as the product of power used by the device for a period of time. The energy unit on electric bills is the kilowatt-hour, where one kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 × 106 joules.

Secondary distribution systems provide electrical energy at the utilization voltage levels from distribution transformers to customer meters. Typical secondary voltages in the United States include 120/240 V for residential use, 208Y/120 V for residential and commercial use, and 480Y/277 V for industrial and high-rise commercial use.
In residential areas, 120/240 V single-phase, three-wire service is commonly used for lighting, outlets, and large appliances. Urban areas with high-density loads...

7.4K
When an electric field accelerates a free positive charge, it acquires kinetic energy. This process is analogous to an object being accelerated by a gravitational field as if the charge were going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, although, of course, the sources of the forces are very different. The electrostatic or Coulomb force acting on the positive test charge is conservative, which means that the work done on a test charge is...

When an electric field accelerates a free positive charge q, it is given kinetic energy. The process is analogous to an object accelerated by a gravitational field as if the charge were going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Of course, the sources of the forces are very different. The work done on a charge q by the electric field in this process helps to develop a definition of electric potential energy.

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

01:07Electrical Power
4.0K
Electric power is the product of current and voltage, represented in units of joules per second, or watts. For example, cars often have one or more auxiliary power outlets with which you can charge a cell phone or other electronic devices. These outlets may be rated at 20 amps and 12 volts, so that the circuit can deliver a maximum power of 240 watts. Consider a 25 Watt bulb and a 60 Watt bulb. The conversion of electrical energy produces heat and light, while the kinetic energy lost by the...
