- CHARACTERIZATION OF MV CONSUMERS USING HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERINGPublication . Figueiredo, V.; Pinheiro, R.; Carvalho Ramos, Sérgio Filipe; Rodrigues, Maria de Fátima Coutinho; Vale, Zita; Ramos, Carlos; Vale, ZitaWith the electricity market liberalization, distribution and retail companies are looking for better market strategies based on adequate information upon the consumption patterns of its electricity customers. A fair insight on the customers’ behaviour will permit the definition of specific contract aspects based on the different, consumption patterns. In this paper, we propose a Knowledge Discovery in Databases project applied to electricity consumption data from a utility client’s database. To form the different customers’ classes, and find a set of representative consumption patterns, we have used the Two-Step algorithm which is a hierarchical clustering algorithm. Each consumer class will be represented by its load profile resulting from the clustering operation. Next, to characterize each consumer class a classification model will be constructed with the C5.0 classification algorithm.
