AAS_4134_Station_Energy_Use

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    This data were retrieved to determine the electricity load profile for Casey station as a function of station population.

    Below is a table which has been comma separated.

    Indicator,Source,Method,Notes
    Number of people on station, Plumbers log book kept in pump house at Casey station, Plumber counts number of tags, This method of person counting may be different to that used by station leaders. It is the only consistent place where this data is recorded on a daily basis

    Average load,2011 MPH OBS.xlsx and 2012 MPHOBS.xlsx, Direct logging by electricians. Data used by diesel mechanics as part of monthly SOE reporting, Includes Main Power House (MPH) Emergency Power House (EPH) and boilers

    Peak load,2011 MPH OBS.xlsx and 2012 MPHOBS.xlsx, Direct logging by electricians. Data used by diesel mechanics as part of monthly SOE reporting, Includes Main Power House (MPH) Emergency Power House (EPH) and boilers

    Quality

    Station population data were based on plumber logbooks, which is based on a method of counting tags on the muster board at Casey station. There is a potential that this method of determining station population could be different to that of the station leader. There is a potential for these data to conflict with SOE population data.
