Executuve Summary

The United Nations Department of Peace Keeping Operations (UNPKO) leads and supports the efforts of 

the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to maintain peace and provide humanitarian aid. 

With over 50 camps located in the country of Lebanon, the UNPKO is striving for energy efficiency to 

ensure day-to-day operations are using resources effectively. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 

conducted a study1 rooted in the UNPKO mission to maintain energy efficient camps by analyzing data from 

metering systems to develop technology insertion recommendations. 

The beginning steps of the DoD study involved receiving deployable metering and monitoring systems 

(DMMS) data sampled from six UNIFIL sites. Although DMMS refers to a larger, three-pillared approach to 

data gathering, and the data here represents only a portion of one pillar, the DMMS acronym is used to 

reference the UNIFIL data in this study. Five analyses were designed to draw useful conclusions from the 

data for UNPKO staff located on-site. The five-step analysis process included: Analytic 1: Time Period of 

Fluke Data Collection vs. LOG Data Collection, Analytic 2: Determination of Partial or Complete Load 

Breakdown, Analytic 3: Determination of Appropriate Generator Number, Analytic 4: Comparison of Phase 

Balancing, and Analytic 5: Analysis of Daily Load Curves. The methods for conducting the analyses are 

detailed in this report to enable similar analyses of future UNPKO DMMS data sets.

The analyses were used to produce a set of recommendations on generator use specific to the UNIFIL camps 

included in the data. After conducting the five initial analyses, additional analyses were designed that could be 

employed in future studies of UNPKO DMMS data sets to reveal new trends and insights. One example, 

which entails correlating the DMMS data with external factors affecting energy consumption, is explored in 

detail. General trends across all UNIFIL DMMS data sets are identified.

It was generally found that UNIFIL camps had generator capacities which far exceeded peak daily demands. 

The recommendations in this study could be used to determine appropriately-sized generators and develop 

schedules for usage. Actions could be taken across UNIFIL based on these recommendations to lower costs 

by eliminating unused generators.

Background Information

UNIFIL was established 19 March 1978 and as of 2017 contains 11,317 personnel, both uniformed and 

civilian, from 40 different countries1. The primary goals are to ensure peace and provide humanitarian aid for 

the Lebanese people in the midst of existing geopolitical tensions. The on-site amenities range from kitchens 

to hospitals to workshops, varying according to the needs of a specific local area. 

The need to provide efficient, sustainable facilities and services to those at the camps is fundamental for 

future operations. Progressing towards more innovative practices and increasing energy efficiency is a primary 

goal of the UNPKO, which leads and supports UNIFIL. To assist in those goals and desired innovations, the 

UNPKO Pilot 2 Program was created. The Pilot 2 Program consists of a preparation and execution of site 

assessments and implementation of deployable metering and monitoring systems (DMMS); holistic data 

collection, research, and analysis to inform technology insertion recommendations; preparation and execution 

of technology insertion, demonstration, assessment, sustainment, and transition plans; and development of a 

final publication. The program plan has been conducted in coordination with USAFRICOM J804, US Army 

Construction and Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), and National Defense University Center for 

Technology and National Security Policy. 

This report, in support of the Pilot 2 Program, consists of an analysis of DMMS data on power supply and 

consumption collected from a sampling of camps within UNIFIL from late 2016 to early 2017. This analysis 

fulfilled several specific tasks and objectives from the Pilot 2 Program. Tasks 3.3 and 3.3.1 led the analysis 

process and created a basis structure to support the additional tasks listed below. These include: 

Task 2.1.3. Develop site assessment methodology, data collection template(s), cost and schedule, 

expected outcomes, metering and monitoring insertion requirements, areas of responsibility, 

equipment and training required, logistics, sustainment, etc. in coordination with UN. 

Task 2.2.2. Collect and categorize site assessment data for use in technology recommendations. 

Task 3.1. Historical analysis of Contingent-Owned Equipment (COE) reimbursement structures for 

power supply and demand, water and wastewater, and solid waste management equipment, based on 

information gained from participation in COE Workshop of January, 2017. 

Task 3.3. Historical data analysis at United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). 

Task 3.3.1. Collect, categorize, analyze, and visualize existing metering and monitoring data and 

produce visual overlay for use in technology recommendations.

Analysis Overview

To complete a detailed analysis of DMMS data across camps, it was necessary to develop and define a 

standardized process for interpreting trends in the data because data collection methods and spreadsheet 

formats varied significantly. Raw DMMS data provided by UNIFIL was used exclusively in the analyses. The 

analytic process was broken into five distinct but interdependent components represented in Figure 1. Each 

subroutine represents a single analytic and enabled specific recommendations to be made with the purpose of 

increasing energy efficiency. Creating efficiencies will improve cost savings and reduce environmental impact. 
2

Patterns were sought to determine where and when generators were unbalanced or sized for peak rather than 

average energy loads and could be downsized, turned off, or used elsewhere during non-peak times.

Figure 1: High-level flowchart of DMMS analysis process

Analytic 1 compares the time period of data collection for power supplied by generators across an entire 

camp (Fluke data) to the time period of data collection for power consumed in specific camp divisions (LOG 

data) to determine if data is missing from either set. Concurrently, Analytic 2 sums energy consumption data 

from all camp divisions (LOG) at a given time and compares it to the energy supplied (Fluke) at the same 

time. If energy consumed is not equal to energy supplied, the load breakdown is incomplete, meaning that not 

all energy used in the camp is reflected in LOG data sheets. If Analytics 1 and 2 reveal missing information, 

the camp should be contacted to request the complete data set to ensure the most comprehensive and 

accurate analysis possible.

Next, Analytic 3 plots all power supply data to determine the maximum value over the camp’s collection 

period. Generator ratings are summed to compare the camp’s capacity for energy creation to what is actually 

produced; some generators may be turned off permanently if a limited number is sufficient to meet the 

maximum production need. For a generator to operate efficiently, its power should be distributed evenly 

across three phases of energy--Analytic 4 compares phases to ensure that no two have a difference greater 

than 20 percent, indicating an unbalanced load and avoidable expense if the load was redistributed. Finally, 

Analytic 5 categorizes divisions within a camp according to their reported purpose (i.e., living quarters, 

ablutions, kitchen, etc.) and identifies daily cyclic trends to recommend the disuse or reduced capacity of a 

generator during periods of decreased load.
3

While most analytics can be completed separately or concurrently, there are some key interdependencies 

affecting analysis progression. Analytics 1 and 2 must be complete before progressing to 3, 4, and 5 because 

missing data may significantly impact any conclusions or recommendations drawn from these steps. Analytics 

3 and 5 should be compared and their recommendations consolidated because they both relate to generator 

number and capacity. A low-level logic flow of the entire analysis procedure is mapped by Figure 2. Appendix 

Figures B1-B3 provide a closer look at individual segments of the process.

Camps 1-0A, 5-10, 5-66, 7-1, 7-3, and 8-30 are examined in this document, but the process and 

recommendations are intended to be transferrable to any camp that may wish to install a DMMS to monitor 

its energy usage. For analysis of these camps, it was assumed that, unless otherwise stated, generators 

consume diesel fuel at a constant rate for all periods of energy generation.

Analytic 1: Time Period of Fluke Data Collection vs. 

LOG Data Collection

Rationale:

Fluke data measures the amount of power supplied to all sectors of the camp by generators over a 

certain period of time. Meanwhile, LOG data represents power consumption of a particular sector of 

the camp over potentially different periods of time. In order to produce the most meaningful 

analyses of camp efficiency, Fluke data (supply) should be compared against LOG data (demand). 

However, those comparisons require that data for both Fluke and LOG are collected simultaneously. 

Therefore, the initial analysis must determine for what periods of time data exists for both Fluke and 

the various LOGs.

Methods: 

For each camp, the start and end times of Fluke data collection were recorded. Additionally, the start 

and end times of LOG data collection were recorded. The start times of all data sets were then 

compared to the end times of all data sets to determine gaps in Fluke or LOG data collection. The 

missing time periods of data were then requested.

Results: 

Presented below is the example of the results for the Sector West 5-66 camp. Collection start or end 

times that differ significantly from the other data sets from the camp are highlighted in yellow. Full 

results for other camps can be found in Appendix A1.

Conclusions:

In one camp, the Fluke data set and all LOG data sets generally corresponded in start and end 

collection times. In two camps, Fluke data is missing for a significant period of time. In two camps, 

one of the LOG data sets is missing for a significant period of time. In one camp, Fluke data is 

missing altogether, though LOG data generally corresponds.

Recommendations:

These conclusions allowed the research team to ask the UNPKO site to provide missing data. The 

request included the following details: camp name, data set (Fluke or one of the LOGs), date range, 

and time period. Acquiring this missing data would enable the research team to conduct more robust, 

thorough analyses on the rest of the data. 

Analytic 2: Determination of Partial or Complete Load 

Breakdown

Rationale:

Based on the conservation of energy within a system, the amount of power supplied to the camp 

should theoretically equal the amount of power consumed by the camp. This meant the amount of 

power supplied to the camp (Fluke) could be compared against the sum of consumption in each 

sector of the camp (LOGs). If the amount of power supplied equaled the amount of power 

consumed, it was assumed that the LOG data represents a “complete load breakdown” for that 

camp. This means that the demand recorded in the LOGs represents the entirety of power 

consumed the camp; no parts of the overall load are missing. However, if the power supplied is 

significantly greater than the amount of power consumed, it can be assumed that the LOG data 
7

represents only an “incomplete load breakdown” for that camp. It means there are unknown loads 

not recorded in the data that are drawing power from the generators in that camp. The purpose of 

this analytic was to check whether the data set for each camp was a complete or an incomplete load 

breakdown, as recommendations for efficiency improvements are more meaningful for complete 

load breakdowns.

Methods:

For each camp, a time was selected randomly from the subset of times when data existed for Fluke 

and for each LOG sheet. The selected time and corresponding date were then recorded in the results. 

If there were no observations in which Fluke and LOG data were collected at exactly the same 

minute, data points were chosen from the Fluke and LOG sheets at the times which corresponded 

most closely to each other. 

Once a time had been chosen and recorded, the “Active Power Total Avg” from Fluke data at that 

time was recorded. This number is the total power being supplied to the camp at the chosen time.

Next, the “Average Kilowatts, 3-phase system total” was recorded for each of the LOG sheets at the 

chosen time. Each of these represents the power being consumed at that moment in time in a given 

sector of the camp. The “Avg. KW, 3-phase system total” values for each LOG sheet are then 

summed together, and the sum is recorded in the results as “Total LOG KW”. The “Total LOG 

KW” value was then divided by the Fluke “Active Power Total Avg” value recorded earlier. 

The results of this calculation allow conclusions to be drawn on whether the data for that camp 

represents a complete or an incomplete load breakdown. If the resulting fraction, when converted to 

a percentage, is approximately equal to 100%, the data represents a complete load breakdown. 

Anything less than 100%, and the data represents an incomplete load breakdown. These conclusions 

rely upon the assumption that the Fluke data recorded represents the only source of power 

distributed to the loads recorded in the LOG data. If there is another power source beyond what is 

recorded in the Fluke data, it cannot be determined whether the load breakdown is complete or 

incomplete. In order to independently verify this assumption, best practice is to consult subject 

matter experts (SMEs) on the data collection from the UNPKO site to determine whether 

unreported power sources exist. For the purposes of this study, the timeline did not allow such 

detailed consultation with SMEs; however, preliminary conversations indicated that the assumption 

was valid. 

A conclusion is drawn and recorded. The calculated percentage is then subtracted from 100%, to 

give the percentage of “Fluke data missing.” In other words, the percentage power supplied by the 

Fluke generators that is not accounted for in the amount of power consumed by the LOG loads. 

This percentage is recorded to give an idea of the degree of completeness or incompleteness of the 

load breakdown.
8

Results: 

Presented below is the example of the results for the Sector West 5-66 camp. The conclusion 

regarding complete or incomplete load breakdown is highlighted in yellow. Full results for other 

camps can be found in Appendix A2.

Conclusions:

The data provided by each of the six UNIFIL camps represented an incomplete load breakdown. 

The most complete load breakdown was Sector West 1-0A, which was missing approximately 9.2% 

of LOG data. The most incomplete load breakdown was Sector West 5-66, with 38.1% of LOG data 

missing. The UNP 8-30 Sector East campsite was missing Fluke data altogether, so Analytic 2 could 

not be conducted for that campsite. Meanwhile, for Sector East 7-3, the values recorded in the data 

actually show more power being consumed in the camp than is being supplied to the camp. Since 

this is physically impossible, it indicates there are additional generators supplying the camp that are 

not accounted for in the Fluke data. Indeed, the Excel data sheet for that camp confirmed this 

theory, as there were four additional 250KVA generators that were recorded in the Information sheet 

but not included in the Fluke data.

Recommendations:

The determination that a camp’s data represents an incomplete load breakdown means that there are 

other loads drawing power from these generators which are not recorded in the LOG data. There 

could be additional sectors of the camp that rely on the same Fluke generators, but for a variety of 

reasons, LOG data was not collected for those sectors.

Recommendations for using generators efficiently are the most useful when a complete load 

breakdown exists. A complete load breakdown presents a full picture of the daily and weekly use 

curves for this camp, allowing for accurate recommendations which truly reflect usage rates. 
9

Recommendations for generator usage based on an incomplete load breakdown, though still useful, 

will not have the same level of accuracy or precision as recommendations based on complete load 

breakdowns. For that reason, the overall recommendation arising from this analytic is to collect 

complete load breakdowns for as many camps as possible.

Analytic 3: Determination of Appropriate Generator 

Number

Rationale:

When functioning, generators should output electricity at the maximum of their stated capacities. For 

example, a diesel generator with a rating of 500 KVA will always produce 500 KVA, regardless of 

whether the entire quantity of energy is consumed. Given that 6 L of fuel are required to transport 

every 1 L used at remote mission site locations according to a 2006 study of the US military by the 

US Army Policy Institute (USAEPI)2, it is critical to maximize efficiency. 

The total available energy produced by generators throughout a camp can be compared to the total 

amount used at a given time to determine what combination of existing generators is most 

appropriate, which may be turned off, and what generator size might be best if a camp were to 

purchase a generator with a lesser capacity. This analysis can be done without regard to the 

completeness of a load breakdown, as Fluke data relating to the energy supplied to a camp is used, 

rather than LOG data, which is dependent upon the reporting of demand data from multiple 

sources. It is assumed that Fluke data is a more accurate metric of a camp’s demand upon its 

generators than LOG.

Methods: 

For each camp, “Active Power Total Average” (KW) Fluke data was compared to the calculated total 

available generator capacity (KVA).

Generator ratings were summed, multiplying the number of a given generator size by its rating and 

adding all products. Relevant information to perform this task was found either within a spreadsheet 

labeled “INFO” within a given file or distributed across the beginnings of LOG data sheets at the 

discretion of individual TCCs.

“Active Power Total Average” values were plotted over all time for which Fluke data was recorded 

to determine maximums. These maximum data points are the amount of energy being supplied to a 

camp at a given time and represent the upper limit of demand that was placed upon generators while 

Fluke data was being collected.

With values for maximum power supplied recorded, the amounts and percentages of unused power 

can be determined. Maximum power supplied was subtracted from total available generator capacity 

to find the amount of unused power. This value was then divided by total available generator 
10

capacity; the quotient is a dimensionless percentage of unused energy that could be compared across 

campsites.

Results: 

Presented below is the example of the results for the Sector West 5-66 camp. The labeled red data 

point indicates the maximum power supplied. Full results for other camps can be found in Appendix 

A3.
11

Conclusions: 

The Sector West 5-66 camp is not an ideal site for completing and reporting this analytic due to the 

recording of Fluke data for only four hours, during which the reported maximum power supplied 

may be less than the actual. At least one full 24-hour cycle would improve the accuracy of a 

recommendation, with extended durations providing the most accuracy. However, for the duration 

of Fluke data, Sector West 5-66 demonstrated the highest unused percentage of its energy: 88.5%. 

One additional camp (UNP 8-30 Sector East) was an unsuitable candidate for analysis due to a lack 

of Fluke data in its entirety; it is therefore omitted from all subsequent summations. In total, 5439 

KVA energy of the reported 6370 KVA available, or 85.3%, was unused.

Recommendations:

Recorded maximum power supply data points can be used to inform recommendations about the 

number and rating of generators required to power a camp in three different ways. For each, the 

individual or collection of units most appropriately sized for the site’s maximum power supplied was 

suggested given its existing generators. The remaining individual or collection of units that could be 

turned off was also noted. If the site were to purchase a new generator, the most appropriate rating 

of all available is listed as a third recommendation. 

For Sector West 5-66, one 500 KVA existing generator is sufficient to supply camp during peak 

hours. Two 500 KVA generators could be permanently turned off, and one 250 KVA generator 

would be most efficient to supply the camp during peak hours. If a 500 KVA generator uses 37.5 

gallons of diesel fuel per hour of operation3, the cost of a gallon of diesel is 14,700 Lebanese pounds4

($9.76 USD), and an analogous estimate of 5.4 gallons of gasoline fuel are required to transport 1 

gallon for a total of 6.4 gallons consumed2, it costs approximately $2,342 USD to operate the unit for 

one hour. Extrapolating these assumptions, for each hour that 5439 KVA energy is unused across all 

camp sites analyzed, $25,476 USD is wasted, assuming that all generators are operating at full 

capacity. If recommendations of Analytic 3 are implemented, cost savings could be tremendous.

Analytic 4: Phase Balancing

Rationale:

The purpose of this analyses was to determine how well the three different phases (L1, L2, and L3) 

of each camp’s power system are balanced. According to Tom Decker, an Operational Energy 

Program Manager from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research 

Laboratory, having all phases balanced is the best condition under which to operate a power system –

it is the most efficient, and the least harmful to the equipment involved5. The SME also suggested a 

margin of difference of 20% in the Average KW values for calling two phases “balanced” versus 

“unbalanced”. If the difference between the Avg. KW value for Phase 1 (L1) is more than 20% 

greater or less than the same value for Phase 2 (L2) within any one LOG data sheet, the phases are 

said to be unbalanced. If the difference between the two values is less than 20%, the phases are said 

to be balanced. If all three phases are balanced with respect to each other, the system is said to be 

balanced. Otherwise, the system is unbalanced.
12

Methods:

In order to conduct the analyses, the relevant data first had to be identified in each LOG sheet. The 

columns that are relevant in each LOG sheet are Avg. KW, Phase 1 (L1); Avg. KW, Phase 2 (L2); 

and Avg. KW, Phase 3 (L3). In order to determine whether each phase is balanced or unbalanced 

with each of the other phases, a total of three comparisons must be conducted: L1 versus L2, L1 

versus L3, and L2 versus L3. If each of the three comparisons returns the result, “balanced,” then the 

system is recorded as balanced at that moment in time. If one or more of the three comparisons 

returns the result, “unbalanced,” then the system is recorded as unbalanced at that moment in time. 

In order, then, for a system to be balanced, all three of its phases must be balanced with each other at 

that moment.

In order to conduct each comparison, the Avg. KW value for the one phase is divided by the Avg. 

KW value for another phase, producing a dimensionless ratio of the two phases. This ratio is then 

checked against two statements – is it less than 0.8? Or is it greater than 1.2? If both these inequality 

statements are false, then the comparison returns a result of balanced for that moment in time, which 

then contributes to the overall system state of balanced. If one of the statements is true, the 

comparison returns a result of unbalanced for that comparison, also contributing to the 

determination of the overall system state of unbalanced.

Once all three comparisons are conducted for a given moment, the overall state of the system at that 

moment (balanced or unbalanced) is determined from the results. This overall state is then recorded 

for that moment. To produce the final metrics for this analytic, for each LOG sheet, the total 

number of instances where the system was balanced and imbalanced were recorded, and summed. 

The percentages of time that the system is balanced and unbalanced are calculated and recorded in 

the final analysis.

Results: 

Below are a sample of the results of Analytic 4 conducted on the LOG data from Sector West 5-66. 

Analytic 4 information for all camps analyzed can be found in Appendix A4. 
13

Conclusions: 

Large amounts of data necessary for this analytic were not included in the data sheets. For the camps 

7-1 INDO (002), Sector East 7-3, UNP 8-30 Sector East, phase data was not recorded, and phase 

balancing analytic could not be performed. 

When data was recorded, generally, the systems spent a majority of the time with phases unbalanced. 

The most unbalanced systems observed were 100% unbalanced, seen in three LOGs, each in a 

different camp. Meanwhile, the highest percentage of time a system was balanced was also 100%, 

although for large periods of time in that particular LOG data sheet, the Avg. KW values were 

reported as zero. The next highest percentage of time spent in a balanced state was 40.16%. This 

means that apart from the lone 100% balanced sheet, every other LOG spent a majority of the time 

unbalanced. 

Recommendations:

Pursuing better phase balancing should be a primary goal for UNIFIL camps, as it is currently 

overlooked by nearly every camp represented in the UNIFIL data. This can significantly increase 

efficiency across camps, and reduce strain on the technologies used. There is the most room for 

growth in LOGs where phases are currently balanced 0% of the time, which includes LOG 111 in 

Sector West 5-10, LOG 114 in Sector West 5-66, and LOG 112 in Sector West 1-0A. These camps 

should be instructed on the importance of phase balancing, and provided with the proper training 

and equipment to effectively phase balance in the various sectors of each camp.
14

Analytic 5: Daily Load Curves

Rationale:

This analytic calculated the daily load curves, or use curves, for each LOG sector within each 

UNIFIL camp. It also calculated the total daily load curve for each camp, as well as the per capita 

load curves for each LOG sector and each camp as a whole. Conducting these per capita calculations 

indirectly required a regression analysis to determine a mathematical model for predicting camp 

population. Additionally, each camp was characterized by the types of equipment it contained, and 

tagged according to a set of standard labels which included, “Hospital,” “Water Pump,” and, 

“Kitchen.” This allows for future comparison of energy efficiency between camps which have similar 

functions and equipment.

The daily load curve plots the average power consumption of a camp or a sector of a camp (in 

kilowatts) over the course of one 24-hour period. This allows a visual representation of which times a 

day experience high and low demand for electricity. The daily load curve reflects patterns of life at 

the camps, peaking during times of high energy demand like mealtimes or shower times.

Graphing daily load curves enables SMEs to determine, down to the hour, when generators need to 

be turned on or could be powered off while still meeting the demand for electricity. It visually plots 

demand, and makes it instantly clear when the generators being used to power a camp have been 

sized to meet the peak loads, not typical loads. Once such generators are identified, smaller, more 

efficient generators can be brought in to power the camp during non-peak hours, producing 

significant savings both economically and environmentally.

Method:

First, the Information sheet of each camp’s data set was analyzed to determine the proper tags for 

each LOG sheet. Then for each LOG sheet, a 24-hour period was selected from the overall time 

range of data collection. Every attempt was made to choose the same 24-hour period across all LOG 

sheets for a single camp. The 24-hour period was chosen to begin at midnight (0:00:00) and end at 

11:50 PM the following night (24:50:00). The date of the 24-hour period chosen was recorded in the 

results.

For each LOG sheet, the average kilowatt, 3-phase system total values for the 24-hour period were 

then plotted against time, with time on the X-axis and Avg. KW, 3-Phase Total on the Y-axis. These 

plots for each LOG sheet were recorded in the final results.

Then, the same Avg. KW, 3-Phase Total values for each LOG sheet are summed to create an Avg. 

KW, 3-Phase Total column of data. This represents the power consumption of the entire camp in 

KW, over the same 24-hour period. It is then plotted against time to create a daily load curve for the 

entire camp. The maximum value on this curve is then recorded and labelled on the graph. The 

maximum point signals the maximum power consumed during a 24-hour time frame, and can be 

used to approximate the size of generator needed to supply the camp during peak usage hours.
15

The final graph created is each of the preceding daily load curves (one for each LOG, and then a 

camp total) divided by the camp population to create a combined per capita daily load curve for each 

camp and the LOGs within each camp. To create this graph, the Avg. KW values used in the 

previous graphs are simply divided by the estimated or known camp population, and graphed against 

time. The results are then recorded.

In the Information sheet for some UNIFIL camps, the population of men and women living in the 

camp was directly stated. However, this piece of data was absent from other camps’ data. In order to 

continue with the per capita analyses, a new metric was created to estimate the number of individuals 

living in a camp from the number of ablutions present in the camp. Number of ablutions is often 

listed on the Information sheet of each camp’s data, even when the population is not listed. Based on 

UN Modularization reports of 50-, 100-, 200-, and 1000-person camps, camp population was 

modeled as a function of reported ablution number (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Modeling completed to estimate camp population size based on number of reported ablutions in 

DMMS data sets

Results:

Shown below are an example set of results for Camp 5-66. Included in each set of results is a 

standardized set of recommendations on minimum generator sizes necessary to power the camp and 

what sizes of generators could be eliminated at each camp.

Conclusions:

Daily load curves vary significantly depending on camp population size and type of equipment 

located in the camp. When a LOG contains specialized equipment (for example, a water pump) as 

reflected in the data tags, the daily load curve looks very different from a standard daily load curve 

for a residential sector of a camp. The load curves can be used to identify patterns of life within the 

camp, including daily peaks and troughs in power consumption at the camp. Identifying these peaks 

and troughs can allow operators to better assign generators to meet demands without producing 

excess power.

Power consumption was compared across camps of varying sizes by considering consumption on a 

per capita basis. Power consumption per capita serves as an effective proxy for energy efficiency. The 

most inefficient camp was Sector West 5-66, with a peak per capita consumption of 1.75 KW per 

person. Meanwhile, the most efficient camp was Sector West 5-10, with a peak per capita 

consumption of .21 KW per person. 
19

Recommendations:

It was discovered that in nearly every camp, generator capabilities are present that far exceed even 

peak daily demand, although it is unknown how many generators are actually operating at any given 

moment. Specific recommendations for each camp can be found in the results for Analytic 5 in 

Appendix A5. Removing excess generators from UNIFIL camps would reduce the overhead costs of 

maintaining and running generators that are unnecessary to meet demand.

Additionally, the per capita graph allows for the comparison of energy efficiency across camps of 

varying sizes, and the data tags allow for comparison across camps of similar purposes. From this, 

the most efficient UNIFIL camps should be identified and studied to determine best practices which 

can then be shared among camps.

Potential Regression Analyses

Analysis completed to this point has been limited to the scope of the data set itself. Regression analysis could 

be completed with complementary data sets to determine factors other than time of day that may influence 

energy consumption at a camp. For example, historical weather data could be gathered to link usage spikes to 

certain temperatures or other meteorological conditions (Figure 4).
20

Figure 4: Sample regression analysis of DMMS data for correlating weather trends

Other analyses that could be completed might compare DMMS data to periods of increased political unrest, 

geographic characteristics such as altitude or rainfall, or an area’s median income. Any additional metrics for 

determining optimal generator performance would be informative when developing management systems for 

camp energy usage.

Conclusion

In the course of these analyses, it was generally found that UNIFIL camps had generator capacities which far 

exceeded peak daily demands. From the data, it could not be determined how many generators were being 

used at any given moment, but it is inefficient and costly to maintain generators that are not being used. 

Actions could be taken across UNIFIL based on these recommendations to lower costs by eliminating 

unused generators. 
21

Additionally, the DMMS data received proved difficult to analyze, due to a lack of standardization and 

background information. Providing more background documentation as to the significance of the data, as 

well as standardizing the methods and formats of collecting data, would make the analytic process more 

scalable and repeatable.

The analytical process developed in this report can be expanded to analyze similar DMMS data from other 

UNIFIL camps, or even other UNPKO missions. The recommendations in this study could be used to 

determine appropriately-sized generators and develop schedules for usage. Within the constraints of 

UNPKO-approved technology and budget, it may be more feasible to simply phase out the use of unneeded 

technology or transfer it between locations than to purchase new equipment. In the future, a guide for 

implementation and usage of DMMS analysis itself may be helpful in standardizing collection methodology 

across camps.

General Findings / Method Validation

Based on a small difference in ranges between all, unbalanced, and balanced data, it is assumed that there is 

no minimum or maximum value that would cause outlying data to become unbalanced.

It was noted that some days are unbalanced for the entire period, suggesting that there is no daily temporal 

trend in balanced vs. unbalanced load cycles.

“Unbalanced” is defined as a difference between phases greater than 20%5.

Daily Per Capita graph not presented here, because data provided does not enable an estimate of camp population.

SECTOR WEST 1-0A

Number of ablutions not given, document lists 230 people.

On Dec. 23, 2016, the per capita maximum energy consumption was 0.341 KW.

Except from 17:00 until 19:30, the total energy usage in the camp did not exceed 80 KW. 

Recommendations: 

4. 1 X 250 KVA generator is sufficient to supply camp for all hours of the day.

5. 2 X 250 KVA generators could be permanently turned off. 

6. 1 X 80 KVA generator would also be sufficient to supply camp during slow hours.
