Analysis of Power Consumption in Solar City Project

SOLAR CITY PROJECT
- Business Intelligence and Big Data
Analytics

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
• The University of Ballarat accomplished the research report on the
basis of “Solar city project” data.
• The data for analysis was collected from households and businesses
across two regions such as “Loddon Mallee” and “Grampians”.
• The project focuses a number of variables that may impact the
energy consumption in various households of different suburbs of
Australia.
• The visualizations as well as data analysis of technology regarding solar
energy distillate on three kinds of features that are-
“Geographic characteristics”
“Adoption of solar energy technologies”
“Physical characteristics of the dwellings”
• The crucial objective of the research project is to comprehend the
significant drivers of the consumption of power.

WHAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION OF POWER USAGE OVER A YEAR BY ROOF COLOUR?
The power use is comparatively lesser for light coloured roofs. Mostly power is
used in dark coloured roofs followed by intermediate coloured rooms over 2012,
2013 and 2015.

WHAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION OF POWER USAGE OVER A YEAR BY PV_CAPACITY?
The low PV_capacity (0 to 1500) consumes most energy. Correspondingly, higher
PV_capacity that over 1500 results lesser power usage. In 2014, the usage of
power is highest for the PV_capacity 0 to 1500.

WHAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION OF POWER USAGE OVER A YEAR BY PV_CAPACITY AND INSULATION?
For lowest PV_capacity (0) and insulation = 960, the usage of power is highest in 2014. The
power usage is second highest when PV_capacity is 0 and insulation is 960 in both 2013 and
2015.

WHAT IS THE POWER USAGE BY ESTIMATED AGE?
The amount of power usage is highest for the estimated age “Sixty and over” of
the dwellings. The amount of power usage is lowest for the dwellings whose
estimated age is 0 years to 4 years.
