Abstract

Within this paper the actual cluster analysis is performed in order to identify the clusters within the Kaposvár district heating. The data was measured not directly at the households but at the heat transfer stations. The smart meters were installed at the heat transfer stations for several reasons, not to measure and control the needed supply temperature but also to identify leakages quicker and easier. The method used is k-means which at the end did determine four different clusters: high demand at low operating hours, high demand at long operating hours as well as low demand at high operating hours and low demand for low operating hours. The details and the determined values can be used for further research and already first further steps towards identifying new heat sources.
