Daily Grid Electricity Consumption at Melbourne Wastewater Treatment Plant

Daily accumulated electricity supply and generation in kWh for Melbourne Water's Eastern Treatment Plant. Data originates from revenue quality meters on supply feeders and Melbourne Water's own generation meters, aggregated from 15-minute and real-time intervals into daily totals. It enables year-on-year comparisons and analysis against atmospheric variables like temperature and rainfall.

Use Cases

• Analyze daily electricity supply (kWh) trends to identify seasonal consumption patterns at the wastewater treatment plant.
• Correlate daily electricity generation (kWh) with atmospheric data like temperature variance to assess energy efficiency.
• Combine Feeder 1 and Feeder 2 supply data to model total Grid Electricity Consumption for the Eastern Treatment Plant.
• Integrate total electricity supply and generation data to calculate the net Electricity Consumption for the plant.

Strengths

• Data is collected using revenue quality meters for supply lines, indicating a standard for measurement accuracy.
• Original data is captured at high-frequency intervals (15-minute for supply, real-time for generation) before daily aggregation.
• The dataset is structured to facilitate year-on-year comparison of daily energy usage.
• Explicit documentation on how to combine feeder and generation data to derive total consumption metrics.

Limitations

• The dataset's accuracy and completeness are explicitly disclaimed by the provider, Melbourne Water Corporation.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count, column count, and temporal range are not provided in the input.
• Data is aggregated to daily totals, losing the granularity of the original high-frequency measurements.
