Districtgenerator: Generating building-specific load profiles for residential districts.
The Districtgenerator Python tool enables an automated generation of time-resolved load profiles for residential districts.The profiles generated for each building within the district are the demands for electricity, space heating demand, domestic hot water, and the occupancy profiles.Additionally, a heating load calculation is carried out for each building.The Districtgenerator is conceptualized using a minimum amount of input data.Thus, the tool is valuable for researchers and planners to obtain information needed, for example, for the energy system or energy management system design during the early planning phase of a new district.
