Battery and water heater energy elasticity performance optimisation

This dataset provides actual data demonstrating the INVADE European Union initiative (https://h2020invade.eu/) from the Bulgarian pilot situated in Albena resort, Bulgaria (https://albena.bg/). It represents results from two different approaches to energy elasticity - using a 200kWh industrial sized battery with a combination of a PV, as well as using water heaters with a combination of thermal solar collectors. For both approaches, the system takes into account the energy prices as listed in the Independent Bulgarian Energy Exchange (http://www.ibex.bg/en), as well as weather forecast for the expected energy production from the solar panels.

Battery.xlsx (16 days worth of data for the battery as follows):

• Timestamp: the time stamp of the entered data point
• IBEX SpotPrice (EUR/MWh): the energy price for the current data point
• Consumption (kWh): the current energy consumption from the grid as taken from the energy meter into the facility
• ChargingPowerRegulation (kW): control signal received from the system to charge the battery
• DischargingPowerRegulation (kW): control signal received from the system to discharge the battery
• EnergyLevel (kWh): the energy level of the battery
• PV Production (kWh): the produced energy by the PV installation
• ActualSolarIrradiation (W/m^2): the current solar irradiance
• ActualTemperature (℃): the current temperature

WaterHeater.xlsx (1 month worth of data for the water heater as follows):

• Timestamp: the time stamp of the entered data point
• IBEX SpotPrice (EUR/MWh): the energy price for the current data point
• Consumption (kWh): the current energy consumption from the grid as taken from the energy meter into the facility
• EnergyLevelHeat (kWh): the current thermal energy level in the water boilers
• EnergyHeatCapacity (kWh): the current thermal energy capacity of the water boilers
• HeatProduction (kWh): the current thermal energy production by the solar thermal collectors
• ActualSolarIrradiation (W/m^2): the current solar irradiance
• ActualTemperature (℃): the current temperature
