Classification and clustering of electricity demand patterns in industrial parks Hernández Callejo, Luis Baladrón García, Carlos Aguiar Pérez, Javier Manuel Carro Martínez, Belén Sánchez Esguevillas, Antonio Javier Producción Científica Understanding of energy consumption patterns is extremely important for optimization of resources and application of green trends. Traditionally, analyses were performed for large environments like regions and nations. However, with the advent of Smart Grids, the study of the behavior of smaller environments has become a necessity to allow a deeper micromanagement of the energy grid. This paper presents a data processing system to analyze energy consumption patterns in industrial parks, based on the cascade application of a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and the clustering k-means algorithm. The system is validated with real load data from an industrial park in Spain. The validation results show that the system adequately finds different behavior patterns which are meaningful, and is capable of doing so without supervision, and without any prior knowledge about the data. 2022-12-02T12:12:26Z 2022-12-02T12:12:26Z 2012 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Energies, 2012, vol. 5, n. 12, p. 5215-5228 1996-1073 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57644 10.3390/en5125215 5215 12 5228 Energies 5 1996-1073 eng https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/5/12/5215 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ © 2012 The Author(s) Attribution 3.0 Unported MDPI SI
