An R data package with the UK National Grid historical demand for electricity between April 2005 and October 2019
The UKgrid dataset is an example of a multiple seasonality time series. This time series captures the demand for electricity and its components in the UK since April 2005 using half-hour intervals. In addition, the package provides a function to extract, subset and aggregate the series into tsibble, ts, xts, zoo, data.frame, data.table, or tbl.
The data was sourced from the National Grid UK website
Install the stable version from CRAN:
or install the development version from Github:
library(UKgrid)
# Load the full dataset (data.frame format)
data("UKgrid")
# Extract only the demand field (ND - National Demand) using tsibble format
extract_grid(type = "tsibble",
columns = "ND")
# Extract the demand between 2016 and 2017 using tbl format
extract_grid(type = "tbl",
columns = "ND",
start = 2016,
end = 2017)
# Extract the first 10 days in 2018 and aggregate to hourly using zoo format
extract_grid(type = "zoo",
columns = "ND",
start = as.Date("2018-01-01"),
end = as.Date("2018-01-10"),
aggregate = "hourly")
