A twenty-year dataset of hourly energy generation and consumption from district campus building energy systems

Abstract Distributed energy resources (DERs) would play a crucial role in the transition towards decentralized and decarbonized energy systems. However, due to the limited availability of long-term, high-resolution datasets, there has been little research on the descriptive analysis of distributed e...

description Abstract Distributed energy resources (DERs) would play a crucial role in the transition towards decentralized and decarbonized energy systems. However, due to the limited availability of long-term, high-resolution datasets, there has been little research on the descriptive analysis of distributed energy systems throughout the lifespan of distributed power generators and beyond. To address this challenge, this study has collected and described a twenty-year dataset (from 2002 to 2021) consisting of hourly energy generation and consumption profiles from a campus distributed energy system, covering the entire lifespan of on-site generators. The dataset includes supply-side data such as gas consumption from combined heating and power (CHP) units (fuel cell, gas engine), absorption chiller, gas boiler, solar photovoltaic generation, CHPs output, and grid electricity import. Additionally, real-life electricity, hot water, space heating, and cooling energy load profiles from individual buildings within the campus were also collected. This long-term dataset can be utilized in various scenarios, providing researchers and policymakers with comprehensive insights into the energy efficiency of distributed energy systems.
