2.1 Electric Load Data

Data provided by the Customer-Led Network Revolution \cite{revolution} contains the power consumption over 30-minute intervals for the years 2011 to 2013 for 908 enterprise and 1538 residential locations in the UK. The enterprises are divided into 4 main sectors which are Public Sector & Other (PSO), Commercial Offices (CO), Industrial (IND) and Agriculture, Hunting, Farming & Fishing Enterprises (AHFF). Those sectors are then divided further depending on the number of employees, the tariff rate and whether the enterprise is a single-site or multi-site. Residential Locations are also divided into sectors called Mosaic classes, devised by Experian \cite{marketing}, which takes into account income, age, location and other characteristics of residents. The divisions of enterprise and residential locations are visualized in Fig. \ref{291233} and Fig. \ref{242872}.
