Data for: Multi-year field measurements of home storage systems and their use in capacity estimation

The dataset accompanies the Nature Energy publication by Figgener et al. (2024), Multi-year field measurements of home storage systems and their use in capacity estimation, DOI 10.1038/s41560-024-01620-9. 

In addition, we use the dataset in Figgener et al. (2024), Degradation mode estimation using reconstructed open circuit voltage curves from multi-year home storage field data, DOI 10.48550/arXiv.2411.08025

The ISEA / CARL of RWTH Aachen University measured 21 private home storage systems in Germany over up to eight years from 2015 to 2022. All these storage systems are combined with residential photovoltaic systems to increase self-consumption. The measured quantities published are system-level battery current, voltage, power, battery pack housing temperature, and room temperature. The sample rate is one second. The dataset consists of 106 system years, 14 billion data points, and 1,270 monthly files stored in 21 system folders. 

Use the data as follows:

1. Download the data (Data_ID_01.zip to Data_ID_21.zip) and the belonging repository (Metadata_and_Code.zip)

2. Uncompress the files so that the uncompressed folders have the same name as the .zip files.

3. Copy all data folders in folder "Metadata_and_Code/00_Data/01_Operational_Data". Read and execute the file "StartUp_Read_and_Execute.m" and stay in this folder for any script you execute. 

In addition, a detailed description of the dataset and how to use it can be found in the supplementary information of the publication.
