This DataSet is built based on the load diagrams collected by smart meters. In cases where there are not yet meters with the capacity to carry out these collections, or there is difficulty in communicating with them, consumption profiling is carried out.
See here the document that systematizes the methodology for estimating the different profiles. (https://www.e-redes.pt/sites/eredes/files/2021-08/DocMetodologico_Perfis.pdf)
Due to the high volume of data, this dataset presents information for a period of thirty days, in a sliding window model, without historical conservation. For longer temporal analyses, regular data extraction is recommended.
The load diagrams for different postal codes can be consulted through the "Table" tab, or through the "Pesquisar Código Postal" tab to filter on a specific postal code.
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is necessary to aggregate postal codes, which are not available individually, into the "OUTROS" set.
