Retrieve Weekday Factors for Gas Standard Load Profiles

Source: R/slp_gas_reference.R
slp_gas_weekday_factors.Rd

Returns the weekday scaling factors (\(F_{WT}\)) for one or more gas standard load profiles as a data frame. These are the values used internally by slp_gas().

Usage

slp_gas_weekday_factors(profile_id = NULL)

Arguments

profile_id

character vector of gas profile identifiers. Same values as slp_gas(). Pass NULL (the default) to retrieve all 15 profiles.

Value

A data frame with one row per profile–day combination and 3 variables:

profile_id

character, gas profile identifier

day

character, abbreviated weekday: "Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa", "Su"

f_wt

numeric, weekday scaling factor

Details

For the residential profiles HEF, HMF, and HKO all weekday factors are 1: gas consumption in households is assumed not to vary by day of the week. Commercial profiles show sector-specific patterns — for example, GWA (laundries) has high Monday–Wednesday factors (busy wash days) and very low weekend factors.

Public holidays are treated as Sunday ("Su"); 24 and 31 December are treated as Saturday ("Sa") unless they fall on a Sunday. See slp_gas() for details.
