Energy and price profiles
Description
This dataset provides hourly profiles for the representative days used in the optimization study, including: - shared community electricity demand, - PV generation, - day‑ahead electricity prices, and - FCR (Frequency Containment Reserve) capacity prices. The dataset comprises 36 representative days: 12 peak‑demand days, 12 typical weekdays, and 12 weekend days. These representative periods follow established time‑series reduction methods designed to capture seasonal variability and peak load conditions without simulating the full 8,760 hours of the year. These profiles constitute the input data for the techno‑economic co‑optimization of PV and battery storage systems presented in the associated study, Techno‑Economic Optimization of PV–Battery Systems for Local Energy Communities under Real‑World Regulatory Constraints.

The data were measured at the pilot site and subsequently reduced to representative days following the standard, well‑established workflow proposed in DER‑CAM, developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (University of California, Berkeley).
