Electricity consumption of customers taking part in a local demand response program

Hourly consumption by substation The hourly consumption of a substation is calculated by aggregating the individual hourly consumption data from the smart meters of all Hydro-Québec customers served by the substation. Average indoor temperature and thermostat setpoint Average indoor temperatures and temperature settings are measured using Hilo smart thermostats . The data is then aggregated on an hourly basis and per substation.

Weather Real-time weather intelligence, i.e., the average outdoor temperature, wind speed, solar energy, relative humidity and snowfall, is updated hourly using the Weatherbit API. Presence of demand response events (Hilo challenge) The presence of a demand response event in the hour is determined by the Hilo challenge history. A Hilo challenge is an event during which Hilo encourages its customers to reduce their home electricity use.

Each challenge has three phases that normally take place at the following times: Morning challenge: optional preheating phase (4 to 6 a.m.), reduction phase (6 to 10 a.m.), recovery phase (10 to 11 a.m.) Evening challenge: optional preheating phase (3 to 5 p.m.), reduction phase (5 to 9 p.m.), recovery phase (9 to 10 p.m.) Additional Information Update frequency: Unscheduled Sampling frequency: hourly Notices and conditions of use: The information provided represents raw data.
