A cross-domain, open-access data hub created by Texas A&M researchers shows the effects human mobility has on the United States’ electricity markets.
Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University sought to answer how energy consumption has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic through the creation of a cross-domain, open-access data hub. Created by Professor Le Xie and collaborators, the Coronavirus Disease – Electricity Market Data Aggregation+ (COVID-EMDA+) hub combines data across disciplines that showcases how human and environmental habits have impacted electricity usage.
COVID-EMDA+ incorporates seemingly extraneous information that turns out to be quite important to understand the impact of work-from-home policies and social distancing guideliens on the electricity sector. The data hub contains five major components: electricity market data, public health data, weather data, mobile device data and nighttime light satellite data.
