|
| ## Overview |
|
|
| This dataset comes from **Optimise Prime**, a major UK trial focused on the impact of commercial EVs on distribution networks. |
|
|
| The public release is organized into three workstreams: |
|
|
| - **WS1** — home charging / return-to-home fleet trial |
| - **WS2** — depot charging trial |
| - **WS3** — mixed / PHV network-impact modelling |
|
|
| For most grid, charging, and smart-control research, **WS2 is the core part**. |
| It contains the depot-side ecosystem: depots, charge points, EV and EV type records, building-load data, telematics, charger / iHost measurements, and smart-charging or flexibility configuration tables. |
|
|
| This mirror is meant to make the public release easier to access, browse, and use in research workflows. |

|
| ## What This Mirror Contains |
|
|
| This repository contains the **public Optimise Prime release only**. |
|
|
| It includes large CSV collections organized by workstream and table, usually split by **month** or **day** depending on data volume. |
|
|
| The mirror covers data such as: |
|
|
| - depot asset records |
| - charge point and charge point type records |
| - EV and EV type records |
| - charging and telematics data |
| - building load data |
| - charger / iHost measurements |
| - profiled connection data |
| - flexibility planning and dispatch data |
| - summary and derived public tables released with the project |
|
|
| It does **not** include confidential, personally identifiable, or third-party licensed data that were excluded from the original public publication. |

|
| ## Recommended Starting Point |
|
|
| If you are new to the dataset, start with these WS2 tables first: |
|
|
| - **Table 10 — depots** |
| - **Table 12 — chargepoints** |
| - **Table 14 — evehicles** |
| - **Table 19 — building-load-measures** |
| - **Table 21 / 22 — nortech-ihost-measurements** |
| - **Table 23 — profiled-connections** |
| - **Table 25 — planned-flexibility-events** |
| - **Table 26 — flexibility-dispatches** |
| - **Table 27 — depot load data table** |
| - **Table 32 — load profile data table** |
|
|
| That gives the cleanest entry point into the depot-side EV + site load + smart-charging part of the release. |

| ## Usage |
|
|
| ### Load with Hugging Face Datasets |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| dataset = load_dataset("<AIsekai/OptimizePrime>") |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Load files directly with pandas |
|
|
| ```python |
| import pandas as pd |
| |
| df = pd.read_csv("WS2/Table 10 – depots/depots_202111.csv") |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Practical Note |
|
|
| Some tables are very large. For serious work, use tools such as: |
|
|
| - pandas / polars |
| - DuckDB |
| - PyArrow |
| - Dask / Spark |
| - SQL-based ingestion pipelines |
|
|
| Do **not** expect the full release to open comfortably in Excel. |

|
| ## What This Dataset Is Good For |
|
|
| This dataset is especially useful for: |
|
|
| - commercial EV charging research |
| - depot smart charging |
| - flexibility and profiled-connection studies |
| - EV fleet load modelling |
| - building-load and EV-load interaction |
| - UK distribution-network impact studies |
| - forecasting, optimisation, and control workflows |

|
|
| ## Limitations |
|
|
| This mirror reflects the **public release only**. |
|
|
| That means some information used in the original project is **not included** here, especially where data was: |
|
|
| - commercially confidential |
| - potentially personally identifiable |
| - licensed from third parties |
|
|
| So this repository is strong for research, but it is not the full private internal project dataset. |
