Fig. 2: Indicating the interaction between households' energy consumption by considering the diversity factor.
From: Data-driven load profiles and the dynamics of residential electricity consumption
a shows the diversity factor or the ratio between coincident demand, Pcd, and non-coincident demand, Pncd, of 30 households belonging to the ADRES dataset every 15 min and for 14 days. As it is clear, there are some time intervals during a day whose diversity factor reaches 0.6. b, c respectively show the energy consumption trajectory of all 30 households from 6:00 to 6:15 and 11:30 to 11:45. It is clear from the figures that the energy consumption of all houses is low around 6:00 and then is gradually increasing together around 11:00 and, consequently the difference between Pcd and Pncd is decreasing proving the obvious interaction between houses consuming the electricity.
