Application of Digital Technologies to Analyze the Actual Electrical Loads of Multi-Apartment Residential Buildings

The “Roselectromontazh” Association has been conducting research to justify the new values of the specific design electrical loads of residential and public buildings based on monitoring the actual electrical loads received from smart electricity meters since 2016. A comparative analysis of the obtained actual specific electrical loads with the current federal and regional standards was made. The results were obtained on the basis of half-hour profiles of the electrical load of the input-distribution devices of multi-apartment residential buildings, fixed by smart electricity metering devices that are part of the automated information-measuring system. The necessity of a preliminary analysis of the power consumption of multi-apartment residential buildings in order to identify commercial premises and unused apartments in the measurement interval is shown. The study is aimed at determining the possibility of making changes to the urban design standards in order to reduce electricity losses and the cost of technological connection to electric networks by updating the specific electrical loads used in the design of multi-apartment residential buildings.
