33.4 Results and Discussions
In this research, a standard demand pattern, so-called “Normal schedule” was considered as the baseline load for a Japanese family, including three residents (Father,
Mother, and a kid), living in an average size house (94.13 m
2 , 4 rooms) located in
Kasuga city, Fukuoka prefecture. The usage method of the main electrical appliances in the normal schedule is shown in Table 33.6. The rated electrical power of
each appliance is given in Table 33.7. Accordingly, the load curve in the Normal
schedule based on a daily average electricity demand in the selected case study is
illustrated in Fig. 33.2. The total amount of electricity demand calculated here was
roughly in agreement with the average Japanese household electricity demand based
