Smart Meter Data Visualisation

This slide demonstrates the use of a shiny app. What does the shiny app do?

• Plot a graph of half-hourly electricty consumption
• Lets the user specify:
  • time intervals
  • Colours
  • Plot type (line/scatter)
  • Faceting variable

The app uses lubridate and ggplot2 packages to create a plot from smart meter data. The following code is an example of the input:

plot_graph("2010-01-01", "2010-02-01",   plot_type= "l", color= "steelblue",  
           faceting="none")

The app creates customisable plots, just like this:

The main purpose of this app is that analysts and final users can quickly visualise detailed, dense time series data and gain additional insights into the data.

Hope you enjoyed this primitive R presentation and you will try out the app for yourself!
Thanks.
