Using Time-Series Databases for Energy Data Infrastructures by Christos Hadjichristofi, Spyridon Diochnos, Kyriakos Andresakis, Vassilios Vescoukis

“…This paper examines the advantages of TSDBs over RDBMS for energy data management, demonstrating that TSDBs can either replace or complement RDBMSs. We present quantitative improvements in digestion, integration, architecture, and performance, demonstrating that operations such as importing and querying time-series energy data, along with the overall system’s efficiency, can be significantly improved, achieving up to 100 times faster operations compared to relational databases, all without requiring extensive modifications to the existing information system’s architecture.…”
