How to use this library to generate electricity demand profile for a business?

[ShantanuKumar]

I am trying to generate an electricity demand profile for a business whose yearly consumption is known. How would I do it? Sorry my German is not that great to understand the underlying documents which are mentioned in the documentation.

Did you have a look at the example?

Be aware that the result is in power units for a 15 minute interval. So you have to divide the result by 4 to get a typical energy unit. We may change that behaviour in the future to make it more intuitive.

import demandlib.bdew as bdew

# read standard load profiles
e_slp = bdew.ElecSlp(2020)
print(e_slp.slp_frame.columns)

# multiply given annual demand with timeseries
elec_demand = e_slp.get_profile({"g0": 5000})
print(elec_demand.sum().div(4))

We also should add this to the documentation:

German (original):

Typ	Beschreibung	Erläuterung
G0	Gewerbe allgemein	Gewogener Mittelwert der Profile G1-G6
G1	Gewerbe werktags 8–18 Uhr	z. B. Büros, Arztpraxen, Werkstätten, Verwaltungseinrichtungen
G2	Gewerbe mit starkem bis überwiegendem Verbrauch in den Abendstunden	z. B. Sportvereine, Fitnessstudios, Abendgaststätten
G3	Gewerbe durchlaufend	z. B. Kühlhäuser, Pumpen, Kläranlagen
G4	Laden/Friseur
G5	Bäckerei mit Backstube
G6	Wochenendbetrieb	z. B. Kinos
G7	Mobilfunksendestation	durchgängiges Bandlastprofil
L0	Landwirtschaftsbetriebe allgemein	Gewogener Mittelwert der Profile L1 und L2
L1	Landwirtschaftsbetriebe mit Milchwirtschaft/Nebenerwerbs-Tierzucht
L2	Übrige Landwirtschaftsbetriebe
H0	Haushalt

British English (translation):

I am not sure how to translate "Gewerbe" -> business, commerce, trade ?

type	description	explanation
G0	General trade	Weighted average of profiles G1-G6
G1	Business on weekdays 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.	e.g. offices, doctors' surgeries, workshops, administrative facilities
G2	Businesses with heavy to predominant consumption in the evening hours	e.g. sports clubs, fitness studios, evening restaurants
G3	Continuous trade	e.g. cold stores, pumps, sewage treatment plants
G4	Shop/barber shop
G5	Bakery with bakery
G6	Weekend operation	e.g. cinemas
G7	Mobile phone transmitter station	continuous band load profile
L0	General farms	Weighted average of profiles L1 and L2
L1	Farms with dairy farming/part-time livestock farming

Hi @uvchik , thank you for the help. Yeah I did check the examples. I was bit confused about which load profile to use from the multiple electrical load profiles as mentioned here

Yes this helps.

Sorry, I totally forgot that in the docs only heat profiles are translated at the moment. We will add the table above to the documentation.
