Overview
Open dataset from Zenodo with half-hourly electricity demand (48 readings/day) across 5 Australian states: VIC, NSW, QLD, TAS, and SA.
Data Structure
| Metric | Value |

| Time Period | Multi-year |
Causal Reasoning Model
Causal rules encode domain knowledge about Australian electricity demand:
- U-shaped annual demand curve: summer cooling + winter heating peaks with shoulder-season troughs
- Southern Hemisphere seasonality: reversed calendar vs. Northern Hemisphere patterns
- Business day effects: weekday vs. weekend demand profiles
- Anomaly types: SummerBusinessDayPeak, WinterBusinessDayPeak, and seasonal troughs
Sample Questions
- "Why was electricity demand anomalous in VIC?"
- "What caused the summer peak in NSW?"
- "Why was demand unusually low in this shoulder season?"
