Update values in demand.ego_demand_federalstate #204

Closed IlkaCu closed 6 years ago

IlkaCu commented 6 years ago

Some statistical offices updated their data on the electricity consumption per federal state. In case of Schleswig-Holstein significantly. Therefore I'd like to update our numbers in tables demand.ego_demand_federalstate.

Further I recognized unit mistakes (TJ -> GWh) in demand.ego_demand_federalstate for the columns electrical consumption of households and the tertiary sector (industry is correct). See below the to-be-updated values in GWh for 2011.

For some states the bundled information of households and tertiary sector is given. To separate these the percentage values of 12.5% (households) and ~15.278% (tertiary sector) are used. Can someone explain this assumption please? (literature?)

In case the electricity consumption of households and tertiary sector are not declared separately we assumed that households account for 45% and tertiary sector for 55% of the accumulated demand. This values are based on an interview with an employee of the statistical office Bremen.

Ah, ok. I didn't know this assumption and tried to calculate these percentage values myself (12.5% and ~15%). But since 45% and 55% divided by 3.6 (TJ to GWh) result in the mentioned percentage values of 12.5% and ~15% you already took the unit change into account. Sorry for that. No work to be done.
