Ndoro village load demand dataset

Dataset of Ndoro village hourly-resolution load demand data computed from aggregated data collected during on-field campagns in 2019-2020. The village of Ndoro is located along the national street, in the Administrative Post of Ndoro, District of Caia, Sofala Province, Mozambique, at coordinates 34°56'35.6''E 18°6'59.5''S.

The dataset, built in excel, is structured as follows:

• The "Baseload demand" sheet reports the parameters of the appliances of the 69 users under the 14 classes. The parameters are defined according to the v0.3.1 of RAMP, an open-source software for the stochastic simulation of a user-driven energy demand time series, with existing applications in off-grid rural electrification.
• The "Baseload results" sheet reports the RAMP simulation results for the first year of the modelling period, differentiating between residential demand, productive activities and public services.
• Four scenarios of demand evolution and associated results are considered in the following sheets, accounting for evolutions estimated from the on-field data collected.The scenarios, showing a progressive upscaling of load demand along the years, introduce:
  • New appliances in Scenario 1
  • New appliances and new classes of users in Scenario 2
  • New appliances, new classes of users and new appliances associated to the new classes in Scenario 3
  • New energy intensive appliances, new classes of users and new appliances associated to the new classes in Scenario 4
