Abstract
This dataset contains historical records of electricity demand in the Dominican Republic from January 2021 to December 2024, with hourly resolution. It was compiled to support short-term load forecasting of the National Interconnected Electric System (SENI). The dataset includes the total system demand in megawatts (MW), along with a set of exogenous variables commonly used in forecasting models. These variables include weather data retrieved from Open-Meteo (such as temperature and humidity), time-lagged demand features, and calendar-based indicators (e.g., weekends, holidays, month, hour). All data were collected from open sources, including the official website of the electricity market and system operator, the Organismo Coordinador (OC), as well as public meteorological APIs.
The dataset is structured and cleaned to be directly usable for time series modeling applications. It can be reused by researchers, utility planners, and data scientists for benchmarking forecasting models, developing predictive tools, or supporting energy planning tasks in tropical, developing power systems. The data is provided in CSV format.
期刊介绍:
Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
