3.1.3. Days Analysis

The days analysis is provided based on the hourly average share load of the days in each season which are depicted in Figure 11, and the daily load share of the typical selected days, which is illustrated in Figure 12.

Figure 11 depicts the hourly average load share in each season based on the days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, where the load profiles for Wepro-LPG are shown in dashed lines and the load profiles for Wepro-ALPG are shown in solid lines. The Winter load profiles are shown in red, the Spring load profiles are shown in blue, the Summer load profiles are shown in green and the Autumn load profiles are shown in black, where the weekday colours are in a lighter shade then the weekend colour.

For the winter period in Wepro-LPG, the top morning peak appears around 7 am for all weekdays. For some weekdays, the morning peak then continues with a light peak between 9 am and 10 am. The following daylight peaks are identified around lunchtime, from 12 am to 1 pm, while for weekend days, the curve show several daylight peaks from 7 am to late lunchtime, around 1 pm. The morning and daylight peaks appear around 7 am, 9 am, 11 am and 1 pm, among which 11 am is identified as the top morning peak, which may be associated with the brunch time. Furthermore, the evening peaks for all days started from about 5 pm to 8 pm and mostly reach the top value around 7 pm, while for the weekend days, the curves show a longer evening peak from 6 pm to around 7:30 pm. The weekend days show a quite higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Furthermore, for Wepro-ALPG, the top morning peak is shown around 7 am for all weekdays, followed by a light peak around 8 am on some weekdays. For some weekdays, the morning peak then continues with a light peak between 10 am to 12 am. The load share continues to increase until 2 pm, while for the weekend days, the morning peaks are characterized by a light peak around 7 am that continues to increase to 10 am. The top morning peak is around 12 am. The weekend days show a higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Most of the days indicate 6 pm as the top evening peak, some weekdays identify 5 pm as the top evening peak and one weekend day shows 7 pm as the top evening peak.

The hourly average load share in Spring period for Wepro-LPG illustrates the top morning peak around 6 am for all weekdays. The following morning and daylight peaks occur around lunchtime from 12 am to 2 pm, while for weekend days, the curves show several morning peaks from 6 am to late lunchtime around 2 pm. The morning and daylight peaks are shown around 6 am, 9 am, 11 am and 2 pm, where 11 am is identified as the top morning peak, which may be associated with brunch. Furthermore, the evening peaks for all days start from about 6 pm to 8 pm and mostly reach the top peak around 7 pm. It is obvious that the weekend days show a quite significant higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Furthermore, the hourly average load share in Spring period for Wepro-ALPG shows the top morning peak around 7 am for all weekdays, followed by a light peak around 8 am on some weekdays. For some weekdays, the morning and daylight peaks then continue with a light peak at 10 am, 11 am, 1 pm and 2 pm. After 7 am, the curves are continually declining until 9 am. The load share continues to increase again with a slight share from 9 am to 2 pm, while for the weekend days, the morning peaks start with a slight peak from 7 am, and gradually increase to reach the top on 10 am. It then increases slightly at 12 am, which is identified as the top morning peak in the weekend days. The weekend days show a higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Most of the days indicate 6 pm as the top evening peak, one weekday identifies 5 pm as the top evening peak and some days shows 7 pm as the top evening peak.

Furthermore, the Wepro-LPG in Summer period indicates the top morning peak on 6 am and 7 am for all weekdays. The following morning peak is around 10 am to 2 pm, while for weekend days, the curve shows several morning and daylight peaks from 6 am to late lunchtime, around 2 pm. These peaks are evident at 6 am, 7 am, 8 am, 11 am and 2 pm, where 11 am is identified as the top morning peak, which may be associated with brunch. Furthermore, the evening peaks for all days have started from about 6 pm to 8 pm, which all days reach the top peak on 7 pm. The weekend days show a quite significant higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share, while for Wepro-ALPG in Summer period, the top morning peak is shown around 7 am for all weekdays, followed by a light peak around 11 am for most weekdays. The load share continues to increase again with a slight share from 11 am to 2 pm, while for the weekend days, the morning peaks start with a slight peak at 7 am, then a gradual slight one increasing each next hour and reaching the top on 10 am. It then slightly increases further at 12 am. The weekend days show a higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Most of the days indicate 6 pm as the top evening peak, two weekdays show 5 pm as the top evening peak and the weekend days shows 7 pm as the top evening peak.

Furthermore, the hourly average load share in Autumn period for Wepro-LPG illustrates the top morning peak on 6 am on most weekdays and one weekday has 7 am as the top morning peak. The following morning peak occurs on 10 am on most weekdays, followed by another daylight peak at 2 pm, while for the weekend days, the curve identifies several peaks at 6 am, 8 am, 9 am and 11 am. The morning peaks are seen around 6 am, 9 am, 11 am and an afternoon one at 2 pm, where 11 am is identified as the top morning peak, which may be associated with brunch. Furthermore, the evening peaks for all days start to increase from about 5 pm or 6 pm and all days reach the maximum evening peak on 7 pm. It is obvious that the weekend days show a quite significantly higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Lastly, the hourly average load share in Autumn period for Wepro-ALPG shows the top morning peak around 7 am for all weekdays, with a slight peak occurring before at 6 am. The next peak happens at 10 am, with the load share increasing gradually from 11 am to 3 pm on all weekdays, while for the weekend days, the morning peaks start with a slight peak at 7 am, and the load share keeps increasing until it reaches another peak at 10 am. It then increases further to reach the top morning peak at 12 am. The weekend days show a higher daylight share than the weekdays' daylight share. Most of the days indicate 7 pm as the top evening peak, one day identifies 5 pm as the top evening peak, another day shows 6 pm as the top evening peak and another day has 8 pm as the top evening peak.

In addition, as an overview of the daily total share load, we present the selected typical days analysis in Figure 12, where the selected days represent weekdays and weekend days of each season.

For the weekdays, we selected 1: 11 February 2015, 3: 15 April 2015, 5: 15 July 2015 and 7: 11 November 2015. The load profile of the Wepro-LPG model in Figure 12 shows that 15 April 2015 has the highest consumption share among the selected weekdays, followed by 11 November 2015, 11 February 2015 and 15 July 2015. For the weekend days, we chose 2: 15 February 2015, 4: 19 April 2015, 6: 19 July 2015 and 8: 15 November 2015, showing that 19 April 2015 has the highest consumption share among the selected weekend days, followed by 15 February 2015, 15 November 2015 and 19 July 2015. Weekdays and weekends both show that the lowest consumption share is in the selected days in July, which concurs with the seasonal and monthly analyses. In addition, this also shows that the weekends have higher consumption shares than the weekdays.

In the Wepro-ALPG model, the load profile indicates 11 February 2015 as having the highest consumption share among the selected weekdays, followed by 11 November 2015. 15 April 2015 comes next, but with only a subtle difference. The lowest share is on 15 July 2015. The Wepro-ALPG model for weekends shows 15 November 2015 as having the highest consumption share, followed by 19 April 2015, then 15 February 2015, then 19 July 2015. Both Wepro-LPG and Wepro-ALPG are having the same values on 15 April 2015 and 15 November 2015.
