There are 96 x 1/4h measurements of electrical power for each combination of profile_id, period and day, which we refer to as the "standard load profile". This dataset results from an analysis of 1,209 load profiles of low-voltage electricity consumers in Germany, published in 1999.

In total there are 11 profile_id for three different customer groups:
