Specifically, the approach makes use of fast Fourier Transform for conversion into frequency domain, principle component analysis to reduce the dimension and K-means++ to determine the representative load profiles. The data set consists of five-year measurements taken from the Democritus University of Thrace Campus. Test days were also classified as working and non-working. From the results it is observed that the proposed methodology determines representative load profiles effectively both regarding active and reactive power.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessclusteringelectricity load profilesfrequency domainprincipal component analysisreactive powerreal powerConference Object09/01/19WOS:00061933820000710.1109/UPEC.2019.88934432-s2.0-85075721373N/AN/A
