Traditionally, analyses wereperformed for large environments like regions and nations. However, with the advent ofSmart Grids, the study of the behavior of smaller environments has become a necessity toallow a deeper micromanagement of the energy grid. This paper presents a data processingsystem to analyze energy consumption patterns in industrial parks, based on the cascadeapplication of a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and the clustering k-means algorithm. Thesystem is validated with real load data from an industrial park in Spain. The validationresults show that the system adequately finds different behavior patterns which aremeaningful, and is capable of doing so without supervision, and without any priorknowledge about the data.
