elecdemand is a half-hourly time series matrix with three columns:

Demand:Total electricity demand in GW for Victoria, Australia, every half-hour during 2014.
WorkDay:taking value 1 on work days, and 0 otherwise.
Temperature:half-hourly temperatures for Melbourne (BOM site 086071).

elecdaily is a daily time series matrix with three columns:

Demand:Total electricity demand in GW for Victoria, Australia, every day during 2014.
WorkDay:taking value 1 on work days, and 0 otherwise.
Temperature:maximum daily temperatures for Melbourne (BOM site 086071).

Format

Multiple time series of class mts.

Details

This data is for operational demand, which is the demand met by local scheduled generating units, semi-scheduled generating units, and non-scheduled intermittent generating units of aggregate capacity larger than 30 MW, and by generation imports to the region. The operational demand excludes the demand met by non-scheduled non-intermittent generating units, non-scheduled intermittent generating units of aggregate capacity smaller than 30 MW, exempt generation (e.g. rooftop solar, gas tri-generation, very small wind farms, etc), and demand of local scheduled loads. It also excludes some very large industrial users (such as mines or smelters).
