Matlab applications to generate synthetic electricity load profiles of office buildings and detached houses

In this paper we present two MATLAB applications that generate synthetic electricity load profiles for office buildings and detached houses down to 1-minute resolution. The applications have been developed using App Designer, a MATLAB environment for application development. The applications are based on consumer load models for office buildings and detached houses published in previous research work. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the application functionalities, code design, assumptions and limitations, and examples of their potential use in power system education and research. To the author's knowledge these are the first applications which allow generating synthetic load profiles for office buildings and houses in practical and intuitive manner where building attributes can be easily configured.
