Harmonization and Development of Methods for a Spatial and Temporal Resolution of Energy Demands (DemandRegio)

ProjeCt Goals

The core goal of the project is the development of a harmonized and transparent approach to regionalize the electricity and gas demand with high temporal resolution. Based on available energy statistics, energy demand parameters and scaling factors will be developed for regionalization (top down) and the generation (bottom up) of representative load profiles. Furthermore, future trends of these parameters and load profiles will be analyzed under consideration of demographic effects and changes in behavior. The results will be implemented in a data base with an interface to the OpenEnergy Platform for public use. The project contributes to harmonize model input data and to reduce data uncertainties.
