description: Dataset for “Real-Time Residential Energy Management: Evaluating Demand Side Management Strategies and Harmonic Impact Using High-Resolution Appliance Data”

This dataset accompanies the article Tüysüz et al. (2025) published in the Journal of Building Engineering. It provides a high-resolution residential appliance dataset specifically designed for research on demand-side management (DSM), load scheduling, harmonic analysis, and power quality evaluation.

3. Dataset Content

The dataset contains 1-second real-time measurements obtained from 26 electrical appliances operating in a residential building in Trabzon, Türkiye. Unlike traditional datasets that only include basic power metrics, this dataset provides:





Active Power (P)




Active Energy (E)




Total Harmonic Distortion of Current (THDi)




Individual Current Harmonics (1st–50th order)




Appliance operational timelines (start/end cycles, usage patterns)




Aggregate total load power & energy data



This enables realistic, high-fidelity load profile modeling without relying on synthetic or simulated appliance signatures.

4. Purpose and Novelty

Existing load profiling datasets often include only a few appliances and typically ignore harmonic behavior. This dataset fills that gap by offering:





Large-scale appliance coverage (26 devices)




High temporal resolution (1 s)




Simultaneous inclusion of power, energy, and harmonic characteristics




Real-world field measurements instead of laboratory or simulated data



The dataset was used to evaluate DSM strategies with Mayfly Algorithm (MA) and Artificial Rabbit Optimizer (ARO), two multi-objective metaheuristic optimization methods adapted to operate on 1-second resolution data and 1-minute scheduling intervals.

5. Experimental Context

The measurements were collected across 24 hours for each scenario. DSM-based load schedules generated by MA and ARO were physically implemented in the residential environment, and the resulting:





Active power,




Active energy,




THDi,




Current harmonic components



were re-measured in real time with 1-second resolution.

This transforms the study from a purely theoretical DSM simulation into a field-validated, real-world DSM experiment, making the dataset one of the few residential-scale resources capturing DSM–harmonic interactions.

6. Key Contributions Reflected in the Dataset

This dataset represents several original contributions:





1-second appliance-level measurements of active power, energy, THDi, and up to 50th-order harmonics for 26 appliances, providing rare, up-to-date, and realistic load profiles.




Unlike existing datasets focusing solely on load profiles, this dataset simultaneously includes harmonic behavior, enabling dual-domain DSM and power-quality analysis.




DSM strategies optimized using advanced methods (MA, ARO) were implemented in practice, and field measurements were taken for every generated schedule.




Real-time results demonstrated that effective DSM strategies not only reduce PAR, billing cost, and energy consumption, but also improve harmonic behavior, revealing a previously underexplored DSM–harmonic relationship.




The dataset provides a valuable benchmark for future studies in DSM, non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), automatic load control, and power quality assessment.




The study integrates high-resolution real-world DSM applications, bridging theoretical models with practical energy management implementations.
