Özet

Demand-side management is vital for achieving a balance between electricity demand and generation, ensuring a reliable grid. Achieving this balance necessitates a deep understanding of consumption patterns and behaviors, making the analysis of demand profiles a critical component in the development of effective demand response programs. This study focuses on designing a cost-effective power logger device for collecting household power consumption profiles. The device features adjustable recording resolution, a user-computer interface for easy operation, long-term offline recording, compact size, and affordability. Design details of the proposed device are presented, and the prototype is tested to demonstrate its feasibility and reliability. The results, obtained over an extended period, are presented in this paper, enhancing the resources available for advancing machine learning studies, forecasting studies, and demand-side management research.
