Induction consumption

[matteodefelice]

I have created two examples (each with 35 households), one with zero penetration of induction cooking (penetrationInductioncooking = 0) and the other one with 100%. When I check the file Electricity_profile_GroupInductive.csv I can see more or less the same consumption. Am I looking at the wrong file? Where can I see the consumption of the induction stove?

This is sometimes a confusing thing, but indeed you are looking in the wrong file. The inductive load profile reflects inductive loads (e.g., inductive motors), used to be able to create a sort of realistic reactive power profile. However, an induction stove does use power electronics and is therefore not an inductive load. See e.g. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/566618/are-induction-stoves-considered-inductive-loads

Therefore, the induction stoves are part of the group "Other".

thank you, now it is clear. What about the EVs instead? Where can I find the consumption for the charging?

EV profiles are not incorporated as such. Instead, their profiles are captures in the various text-files. The idea is that we have no static profiles, but we express the flexibility (i.e., arrival time, departure time, required energy and maximum power) such that external tools (e.g., DEMKit or other simulators/solvers) can utilize this information to optimize the potential of flex and simulate how such flexibility can be utilized. The ALPG tool is mainly used to generate realistic benchmark sets for DSM/DR algorithms.
