Data Preparation and Visualization of Electricity Consumption for Load Profiling

The construction of daily electricity consumption profiles is a common practice for user characterization and segmentation tasks. As in any data analysis project, to obtain these load profiles, stage preparation necessary. This article explores what extent does the selection technique impacts profiling. techniques discussed are used following tasks: standardization, data, dimensionality reduction enrichment. reveals great incidence on result. need make process explicit each report identified. In particular, it highlighted that most usual default standardization process, column not adequate energy profiles.
