DATA ANALYSIS ON NON-RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION BY STATISTICAL AND MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES IN VIEW OF DEVISING APPROPRIATE CONSUMPTION STRATEGIES.

The aim of this paper is to analyze, process and interpret, from economic and statistical perspectives, the data regarding the quantity of electric energy, measured at the non-residential consumers' level. Our intention was to track and analyze the electric energy consumption level at hourly intervals for a real consumer in Romania. The measurements were carried out in MWh, and collected in databases, in order to facilitate the application of the calculation methods. The results and their interpretations facilitate the scientific substantiation of new policies in order to optimize the electric energy consumption. The statistical and mathematical methods employed represent viable tools in achieving an adequate data analysis on non-residential electricity consumption in view of devising appropriate consumption strategies. These will be transmitted and proposed to the real consumer as scenarios of its analyzed consumption profile. After having experimented several methods for approximating the data repartition, we have concluded that by adjusting the primary data with the estimated normal repartition one obtains the ideal model in the case of hourly electricity consumption of non-residential consumers offering valuable insights regarding the modelling of their consumption patterns.
